Anyone have this promoCD?
I picked up a copy a few days ago interestingly mine has a date of 2010 on the CD making it a re release as the original promo was released in 2009. see here
The CD looks identical to the original as far as i can see but would like to see an image of the full disc and cover to check!

dont think they're proper promo cds, just fancy bootlegs especially as they seem to be re-releasing them every year!

Sure they are bootlegs ... the recording quality is very variable (to put it politely) ... the Martha Wainwright is so bad it is almost unlistenable to!

My guess is they were all taped off the radio. :think:

Will do, but I will not be able to get my hands on it for about two weeks.

I should just say, for those who do not know it, that Beth's 'Black Session' from Paris is, despite quality problems, an absolutely stonking set and an essential live recording from early in her career. There are not so many Beth bootlegs from '97 that one can afford to overlook this one!

found it, dated 2005 or MMV on the sleeve, the only other difference i can see is CD itself doesn't have the le noir part, so looks like the arctic monkeys one (for reference) anything else you need to know Tim before it goes back in the vault :p
