The following are the first 55 of (currently) 120+ FLAC silver disc rips.
They were lovingly bought, collated & ripped by bootleg collector extraordinaire Thierry.
Initially shared on Facebook but not in a static manner - this thread will serve as a static link repository for the collection.
Immense gratitude to Thierry for taking the time to look out for fans and share Morrissey & Smiths commercially produced boots (amongst sharing many, many other artists).
I will be hosting these and may rotate them or share all in bulk eventually. The links & bandwidth are for Morrissey-solo users here and should they turn up elsewhere, I'll remove them and nix the thread.
The cover art, CD & tray image should be included in each file.
I can not provide these files via anything other than mega.nz at the moment.
Again, thank you to Thierry for his stalwart efforts (and thank you for being OK about sharing it all here).
Enjoy.
Regards,
FWD.

PLEASE NOTE:
These bought discs are historically known to have erroneous tracks, substituted tracks, extra tracks tacked on and a host of reasons to check out the known information for each release to see exactly what you are getting. This may explain some unwitting repetition too.
Obviously no reflection on who ripped them, but do be aware several bootlegs aren't exactly what they report to be. I don't believe any repeated gigs are identical or necessarily the same source - so, again, check the boot's history for background (and not all appear here or on PJLM).
If I get time, I will endeavour to highlight any said issues per disc, but for now: the first 10 in the order they were shared.
