Peel Session TX 21/07/1998 is an EP by Boards of Canada, featuring the tracks played on their 21 July 1998 Peel Session broadcast on BBC Radio 1. It was originally released on 11 January 1999 as a 12" and CD by Warp Records, with catalogue numbers WAP114 and WAP114CD, respectively.

The original radio broadcast contained an additional track, "XYZ", which was originally included on the EP, but soon removed due to sample licensing issues, meaning that original copies of the CD containing "XYZ" are extremely rare.[2]

In September 2019, Warp Records announced that the EP would be re-released on 15 November 2019 to celebrate the record label's 30th anniversary. The re-release features "XYZ", which was also uploaded to YouTube alongside the announcement.[3]

All versions exclude the actual live recording of "Happy Cycling", as it was deemed unsatisfactory by the band. Instead, they contain a re-recorded studio version of the track.
