Crazy Diamond is a 1993 triple-CD boxed set of Syd Barrett's two 1970 albums The Madcap Laughs and Barrett, and Opel, an out-takes compilation from 1988, with all discs augmented by a generous helping of further alternate takes of songs from all three albums. The box set is packaged in a 6 inch x 12 inch longbox, and also contains a 24 page booklet.
Simultaneously with this release EMI reissued The Madcap Laughs, Barrett and Opel separately as well, along with the new bonus tracks of alternate takes.
