Background
The cover version of "Transparent Radiation" was written and recorded based off the March 1967 demo version of the song on the International Artists Epitaph for a Legend compilation album released in 1980 rather than the original LP version on The Parable of Arable Land. Peter Kember would call songwriter Mayo Thompson who at the time was working for Rough Trade for a transcription of the original lyrics. Kember stated:Track listing
