All but one of the songs here come from official album "BBC Sessions 1968-1970." The one exception is the last track, "Mandrake Root." This also comes from an official source, but a lesser known one, and something that only came out on DVD, "Rock Review 1969-1972." The reason for the difference is that last song is the only one that wasn't actually performed at the BBC. Instead, it was done for a French TV show. I've included it to get all the other songs the band did on TV or radio that weren't also done for the BBC. It so happens there simply aren't many of those, at least not with excellent sound quality.
You may note three songs have "[Edit]" in their names. Generally speaking, by 1970, the BBC DJs were ending their bad habit of talking over the starts and ends of the songs they were playing, but as you can see they still did that for those songs. As usual, I used the audio editing program X-Minus to wipe out the talking while keeping the underlying music.
This album is 43 minutes long. There aren't as many songs as before because the songs were getting longer. "Mandrake Root" in particular is 14 minutes long.

The cover photo is of the band performing for the Top of the Pops BBC TV show in early 1970. (I didn't include that exact performance on this album because they lipsynced the vocals.)
