Notes

The purpose of this compilation was to gather all the sessions Pink Floyd made for the BBC radio. As the 1974 Wembley show was left aside, the whole thing fits in a 4-CD boxset (which is enough), including 7 sessions on the BBC Radio between 1967 and 1971, and a bonus of all the BBC TV sessions. The tracks are here in the best quality available now, many come from BBC master reels. They didn’t suffer any processing, only STC 11-68 was normalized because the sound was way too low; a few sessions have been edited for track splitting. The shows are presented by John Peel (except Dec. 2, 1968 and May 12, 1969)
