Radio One is a live album by The Jimi Hendrix Experience. It was released posthumously in November 1988 by Rykodisc and compiles tracks recorded between February and December 1967 for broadcasts by BBC Radio.[1] The album peaked at number 30 on the UK Albums Chart[2] while it charted at number 119 on the Billboard 200 in the United States.[3] After Hendrix's family gained control of his legacy, Radio One was supplanted by the more comprehensive BBC Sessions in 1998.[4]
