Album Details After Parting Company with Pink Floyd, Barrett Released the Eccentric but "The Madcap Laughs" in 1970. The More Accessible "Barrett" Followed Later that Same Year with the Help of Dave Gilmour, Richard Wright, and Humble Pie's Drummer Jerry Shirley. Gilmour and Shirley Accompany Syd on the Two Radio One Sessions Contained Here. The First Recording, from the Top Gear Session from February 1970, Showcases a Relaxed Syd Strumming Some of his Best and Most Uplifting Tunes, Including 'terrapin' and 'baby Lemonade', to a Backing of Acoustic Guitar and Bongos. The Second Set is the Long Lost Recording of Syd's Only Other Solo Sitting for Radio 1, the Mythical Bob Harris Session from February '71. Tragically Missing from the BBC'S Archives and Only Ever Available as a Bootleg, this Session Has Never Before Seen Official Release. The Version Included Here Comes from an Off-air Recording and is Therefore of Inevitably Poor Quality, Imbuing the Three Songs with a Darker Edge. Similar CDs

CD ReviewsShambolic Grace Andrew P. Benner | 01/26/2005 (4 out of 5 stars) "Having exhausted the Madcap Laughs, Barrett & Opel, I found this to be a great addition. The version of "Terrappin" is a really nice addition, with its brighter more open feel than the album version, also it sounds more watery which helps lines like "we're the fishes". Baby Lemonade was kind of a mess, and not neccesarily in a good way, but I do like it also, I was disappointed that it didn't have the guitar intro that is on the "Barrett" album, but I'm over it. I still think it is really worthwhile. The melody, melancholy, grace come through as is so often with Barrett. I also loved his rhythym chops on Gigolo Aunt which has great energy and drive, though it flickers a little bit. This is a great addition to my Barrett collection and I excpect I will give it many listens." Syd, now its a fact we wish you were here J. H. Infante | Guadalajara, Ja, Mex | 07/15/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "Cambridge saw you born Cambridge saw you left, you were long gone long gone as you sang, you left days ago but you said goodbay long decades ago, this is only a consolidation of your goodbay , progressive rock would be the same without you , Pink Floyd wouldnt be the same without you , the music wouldnt be the same without you, we wish you were here. HM" Syd Barrett - 'The Radio One Sessions' (Strange Fruit) 3 1/ Mike Reed | USA | 09/25/2007 (3 out of 5 stars) "Good, well decent... rare radio broadcast of a John Peel session. Believe the rarity of this performance sort of over rides the sound quality, although it's acceptable. I thought "Gigolo Aunt", "Two Of A Kind", the trippy "Baby Lemonade" and "Dominos" made this CD at least worth checking out. Line-up: Syd - guitar & vocals, Dave Gilmour - organ, bass & guitar and Jerry Shirley (Humble Pie, Fastway) - drums. My only complaint is this release should have been longer than a mere twenty minutes. Next time, add some bonus material. Pretty much aimed toward the completists."
