It features the complete Peel Session recordings that Barrett did for Top Gear (Presented by Peel) on 24 February 1970, plus three unreleased songs recorded for a Bob Harris "Sounds Of The Seventies" show on 16 February 1971. For the latter, the BBC no longer held the master tape, however, the source tape used for this album was an off-air bootleg recording of the show made during its original broadcast. Because a several generation old tape was used, the quality of these tracks are very poor, but in recent years, a lower generation copy, featuring Harris' introductions, has circulated among fans and has improved sound quality.
