Opossum was a German Jazz rock band that evolved into Morpheus. Here is what is written about them on the Garden of Delights label website:

Morpheus is a band which might be
known well to the enthusiasts of German rock. The band
came from the greater area of Warburg, a city situated
in the eastern part of Westphalia. Their precursor was
given the slightly silly name Opossum. The name is connected
with their bassist who was wearing an opossum skin tobacco
pouch on his belt. Opossum, like later Morpheus, were
playing relaxed instrumental jazz-rock. There were no
LPs released, but in 1974 five tracks had been recorded
of which the tapes were kept hidden from the public
almost for thirty years. Now they are released by Garden
of Delights, carefully remastered by Gerold Adler, the
band’s guitarist and composer. One can hear by their
tracks that the six musicians had a sound education.
The sound was made by flute, sax, synthesizer, and –
very extravagant – sometimes by two drums. (https://diregarden.com/god086.html)
