The Radio One Sessions is a live album by former Pink Floyd vocalist and guitarist, Syd Barrett.

Content

It features the complete Peel Session recordings that Barrett did on 24 February 1970, plus three unreleased songs recorded for a Bob Harris show on 16 February 1971.[1][2][3][4] For the latter, the BBC no longer held the tapes, however, the source tape used for this album was an off-air bootleg-sound recording of the show made during its original broadcast.[1][3][5]

  1. "Two of a Kind" was credited to Richard Wright on the original Peel Session release, but to Barrett on later releases, including The Best of Syd Barrett: Wouldn't You Miss Me?.[6] Wright reportedly wrote the song but Barrett insisted it was his own composition[7] (and wanted to include it on The Madcap Laughs).[8] When asked about the matter in a 1996 interview, Wright's reply was enigmatic: "Can't answer, I am looking into this."[9]
