Looks like it's well worth £10. It's heavy on BBC recorded material which is usually of good quality for the era.

offical or a bootleg?

offical or a bootleg?

I think there was a Genesis "bootleg" of radio sessions on Amazon. Could be the same company? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Lost-Radio-Rec ... 8284498ffd
Either way, one review mentions tape hiss. So see how it goes. It doesn't say what the company is. On either.

I would imagine it's a bootleg/audio rip of the content that was released in The Early Years boxset, hence the likely hiss.

The first two tracks are likely audio rips from the video featuring the interview with Hans Keller, and the rest I'm pretty sure I've come across in various other bootleg releases.

I'd be wary paying for this item, just with the knowledge that the same content is likely available as unofficial bootlegs for free.

Defiantly a bootleg
