Out of Phase Stereo (OOPS) mixes

This is the best of the Barrett solo material, as
rendered into out-of-phase stereo.

More tracks could be included, but the OOPS process
didn't yield a particularly interesting mix, and
considerations of space won out.

It goes without saying that acoustic songs could
not be used. When there's nothing to work with
beyond a guitar and a vocal, OOPS is beside the
point. By necessity, this disc features Syd with
a band, or at least some overdubs.

Most of these came from the first two solo albums.
A few tracks came from HYGIY4 or "Opel," but not as
many as we might have liked. "Opel" and the "Crazy
Diamond" outtakes were mixed in the late 80s and
early 90s -- the superior technology involved
doesn't translate into a superior OOPS mix. We had
high hopes for "Lanky," for example, but in OOPS
it's a river of murk.

Some songs yield backing tracks when OOPSed, or else
the vocal seems to be coming from down the hall. This
is typical enough for OOPS and we included some examples
of each. What comes out is determined by where all the
instruments were panned in the original mix. There's
no control on our end -- we OOPS it and save the result.

(Track #14 is not OOPS, it's the left channel of "Rats,"
panned to center. This is a leftover from HYGIY8.
There was room for it here, and so it is.)

As on HYGIY9, all tracks were rendered as a dual-signal
expansion -- mono in one channel, inverted mono in the
other.
