whats the story behind this vinyl?

[Frankly Mr. Shankly]

is it a bootleg? the vinyl is blank on both sides in the middle

 

[Not Right in the Head]

Yes, it's a bootleg, but it doesn't seem to be any of the ones listed on Passions for that gig. And Boy Jesus can't spell.

You are right that it might not be listed, but Stephane does say "This is probably the most widely available concert on bootlegs. Most of the titles in circulation were produced from the radio broadcast mentioned above..."

This is the untitled vinyl that was later reissued on cd as "Better Live Than Dead" (you can see it's the same artwork, but with title). I'll add this bit of info somewhere in there. Now if someone could get me a good flat scan of the artwork, that would be perfect.

I'd like to thank Frankly Mr. Shankly for highlighting this one...
I saw this thread first thing this morning... the ebay link to "THE SMITHS / BBC IN CONCERT 1985 LP" was pretty poorly described, certainly no photo... I asked the seller for a photo... he posted one... and now I'm the very happy owner of a BBC Transprition Service disc of this concert

I've been after one of these for years. They almost never come up for sale. And now I have one...well, I will have it as soon as it finds it's way back to Dear Old Blighty.

Short of a negative Hand in Glove and a few posters there's nothing much else that I lust after.

There's a fair amount, probably in the region of 20/30 or so. I can add them up tonight if you want the exact number.
