The Peel Session is a collection of recordings by Syd Barrett released on 25 January 1987. This EP contains the five songs he performed for the John Peel Top Gear show, recorded on 24 February 1970[5] and broadcast shortly after.
The excellent Peel EP dates from February 1970 and contains cogent renditions of "Terrapin," "Gigolo Aunt," "Baby Lemonade," "Effervescing Elephant" and the otherwise unissued "Two of a Kind," performed energetically and reasonably cogently with simple accompaniment by Gilmour and Shirley.
