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
