  1. ^ "Two of a Kind" was credited to Richard Wright on the original Peel Session release, but to Barrett on later releases, including The Best of Syd Barrett: Wouldn't You Miss Me?.[3] Wright reportedly wrote the song but Barrett insisted it was his own composition[4] (and wanted to include it on The Madcap Laughs).[5] When asked about the matter in a 1996 interview, Wright's reply was enigmatic: "Can't answer, I am looking into this."[6]
