Due to Syd's image on the Opel album cover, the following photos are known as being part of the "Opel session", also known as "ruffled dandy" photo session because of Syd's dress. Thanks to two out-takes dated October 1969, we have a date for the session. Owned by EMI Records, the photos were presumably taken for undecided promotional purposes. After those photos, there is a well-known picture of an amused Syd during his second holiday in Formentera, in 1969, near an unknown girl who hides her face. The last photo is a delightful selection of colourful opals. |
