One Take Radio Sessions is a compilation of live-in-studio tracks by British singer-songwriter and guitarist Mark Knopfler, released on 21 June 2005 by Mercury Records internationally and Warner Bros. Records in the United States. The tracks were recorded in one take at Shangri-la Studios in Malibu, California. The record contains live in-studio versions of seven songs from the 2004 album Shangri-La and one song, "Rüdiger", from the album Golden Heart. This release is in fact an extended version of The Trawlerman's Song EP, featuring two more tracks and a revised version of the title track.[1]

AllMusic [1]

In his review for AllMusic, James Christopher Monger gave the record two out of five stars. Although Monger thought "the playing is top-notch, the recording impeccable, and the tunes are strong", he felt that the release offered nothing new that had not been previously delivered on the 2004 album Shangri-La.[1]
