    Having said that, this is a fantastic recording. I've had it on many bootlegs, and the tracks come from the Barret album. Hearing it on vinyl is perfect. It was basically Floyd without Nick Mason or Roger Waters.

    Syd barrett and David Gilmour together is enough to buy this wonderful record.

    One of the better productions of Syds work, I guess the BBC knew what to do to get a recording. Syd's songs could benefit from this kind of production and additional instruments to beef them up. Just another twist on the mystery

    Syd Barrett & John Peel combined make this one of my favorite records.
