Review by Richie Unterberger
A three-CD box set that enshrines Barrett's complete recorded legacy as a solo artist. Besides including his two 1970 albums,
this collection includes the 1989 compilation of unreleased material, Opel. The chief attraction of this set for Barrett
fans is no less than 19 previously unreleased alternate takes from throughout his quite brief solo career.
All of those alternate takes, it's important to note, are alternate versions of songs that appear on the three previously
available albums; no entirely unheard compositions were unearthed. Nonetheless, these alternate takes are more interesting
listening than you might expect, for a couple of reasons. First, Barrett was so mercurial (and occasionally unfocused) in
the studio that it was difficult to get him to play a song the same way twice. Second, the alternate takes are usually
starker and more acoustic in nature than the official versions; they're not better, but have interesting different slants.
With some of the songs repeated two, three, or even four times, this is definitely for the hardcore fan. But it's a
beautifully produced document, with a meticulously detailed booklet, of a uniquely primitive visionary, and has many
moments of charming and chilling power. It includes everything salvageable that he produced, with the exception of the
Peel Sessions. It doesn't match his work with the original Pink Floyd, but the music continues to influence and be emulated
(most notably by Robyn Hitchcock), though never equaled.
