We now have full details of the forthcoming Syd Barrett CD, "The Radio 1 Sessions", and its cover is pictured to the right. The eight track album features firstly a re-issue of the Top Gear session from February 1970 featuring David Gilmour on bass and Humble Pie's drummer Jerry Shirley (tracks as detailed below).

The second part, tracks 6 to 8 (Baby Lemonade, Dominoes and Love Song), is the long lost recording of Syd’s only other solo sitting for Radio 1, the mythical Bob Harris session from February 1971. Tragically missing from the BBC’s archives and only ever available as a bootleg, this session, doggedly sought-after by fans, 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 feel than the first set. Here, Syd's ethereal, shadowy voice is backed only by acoustic guitar and bass.

The release date in the UK and Europe is set at March 29th, with a US release following soon after.
