Basically a live bootleg, this collects Bowie’s appearances at the October 1996 Bridge School Benefit. Parachute Recording Company labels these things as radio transmissions based on the difference in copyright law regarding things broadcast in the UK (and maybe the EU?).
It was previously released as a bootleg under multiple names by different labels – this version was released in 2021, and says it is under license from Leftfield Media, which (as per Discogs) “Issues semi legal releases using a hole in the European copyright laws concerning recorded public broadcasts.”
My copy via Waterloo Records in Austin TX – it’s a nice clean 2xLP pressing (from GZ Media) and sounds pretty good for an unauthorized bootleg – you could believe this could have been broadcast.
