"Radio Radio Radio" is a 7" EP by punk band Rancid, released on August 26, 1993. It was their only release on Fat Wreck Chords.

This is the first Rancid release with four members, with the inclusion of Lars Fredriksen on guitars and vocals. Previously a three-piece, Rancid was in need of a second guitar player to refine their sound. They had briefly performed live with Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day as their second guitar player, but Billie Joe decided to stay with Green Day rather than become a full member of Rancid. "Radio" was written in the short time that Billie Joe was in the band, and he therefore was a co-writer of the song. After Billie Joe decided to leave, Frederiksen filled the spot. Frederiksen had previously been a member of British punk legends the UK Subs.

"Radio" and "Dope Sick Girl" were both re-recorded for "Let's Go", which was released the next year. The versions on this EP, "Radio" in particular, are arranged differently than their LP counterparts.

Notes

*"Just A Feeling" is misspelled on the record sleeve as "Just A Felling".
*The run on groove on side A has "That's a lot of radios" etched on it, and side B has "Feeling has two Es" (reference to the misspelling noted above) etched onto its run on groove.
