Release and Content
Opel consists of 8 previously unreleased songs and alternate versions of six already released songs. Despite its positive reviews, it failed to chart.
The disc was originally set to include the unreleased Barrett Pink Floyd songs "Scream Thy Last Scream" and "Vegetable Man", which had been remixed for the album by Jones. However, the two songs were pulled by Pink Floyd, before Opel was finalised.
In 1993, Opel (along with The Madcap Laughs and Barrett) was reissued both independently and as part of the Crazy Diamond Barrett box set, on 26 April 1993. A remastered version was released in 2010.

Famous quotes containing the words release and/or content:
“The steel decks rock with the lightning shock, and shake with the
great recoil,
And the sea grows red with the blood of the dead and reaches for his spoil—
But not till the foe has gone below or turns his prow and runs,
Shall the voice of peace bring sweet release to the men behind the
guns!”
—John Jerome Rooney (1866–1934)
“We can’t forever be spending our lives paying for political follies that never gave us anything but always took from us, and I am content with the narrowest metes and bounds provided I have peace and quiet for work.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)
