This list is provided to help you make an educated decision when it comes to buying a bootleg CD. This list is by no means complete. I'll add new entries as I buy them or as people send me reviews.

Always, try to listen to a bootleg before you buy it.

Be sure to check other pages on the MozWeb especially The Arcane Old Wardrobe for more info on bootlegs.

Key Title / Label(CD number) Place(s) / Date(S) / Quality Notes:

Quality Ratings I tried to keep it simple. If I've heard it with my own ears I rated it as follows: SB+ good soundboard (a really nice job) SB  okay soundboard (nice but needs better mixing) SB- poor soundboard (listenable but something went wrong somewhere) AR+ good audience recording (not much crowd noise) AR   okay audience recording (bearable though distracting crowd noise) AR- poor audience recording (too much crowd noise) If I've got a review from someone else I use AR? reviewed elsewhere as audience recording SB? reviewed elsewhere as soundboard recording If I've never heard it I use ???

Beautiful Liar / Boston / July 7, 1991 / AR?
Notes: Can't say I know much about this one.

Digital Excitation / KTS 058 / Hammersmith Odeon, London / October 4, 1991 / SB
Notes: This Hammersmith show finds itself on several CD boots. This CD is similar to His Master's Voice and has smoother song transitions than King Lear. Unfortunately this is not the complete show.

Dreams I'll Never See / / Leysin / July 9, 1992 / AR-
Notes: Another mislabelled bootleg CD. The recording is rather poor. However it was the first live disc of 1992.	suedehead sister, i'm a poet the loop you're the one for me, fatty the girl the least likely to alsatian cousin seasick, yet still docked such a little thing.../my insatiable one every day is like sunday interesting drug national front disco november spawned a monster Piccadily Palare the last of the famous international playboys we hate it when our friends become successful disappointed

Famous When Dead / Arco Arena, Sacremento California / October 14, 1992 / SB?
Notes: Sirimal Mukerjee describes this one as "it's pretty good, the sound is alright, I mean you can hear a slight bit of crowd interference, but otherwise, it's good. It's not as good sounding as 'welcome to the west end', but it's decent. On the cover is him at Griffith Observatory, Hollywood, the scene from James Dean's knife fight in Rebel Without a Cause, January 1994." .	i know it's gonna happen some day you're gonna need someone on your side tomorrow glamorous glue suedehead he knows i'd love to see him we'll let you know you're the one for me fatty the loop certain people i know sister i'm a poet alsatian cousin such a little thing... the girl least likely to jack the ripper seasick yet still docked we hate it when ... november spawns a monster

Guilt By Implication / Primadonna (pd115) / various / various / various
Notes: Tracks 1- 16 are a fair audience recording in Newcastle, England February 17, 1995. Tracks 17 and 18 are from The Tonight Show on August 9, 1992. Track 19 is from Saturday Night Live November 14, 1992.	Billy Budd Have a go merchant Spring Heeled Jim Your the one for me fatty the more you ignore me...

Higher Education / Kiss The Stone (KTS023) / Utrecht, Holland / July 1, 1991 / SB+
Notes: This was my first solo Morrissey bootleg CD. It's a good sounding recording and a nice concert. "Cosmic Dancer" and "Disappointed" made it to the "Pregnant for the Last Time" single.

His Master's Voice / DTB / Hammersmith Odeon, London and San Francisco / October 4, 1991 and October 31, 1991 / SB and AR+

Notes: Features 3 AR+ tracks including an early "We Hate It" and the rare "Pashernate Love." The Hammersmith show is mixed better than King Lear. This is the complete show but the order is changed. I'd recommend this one of all the Hammersmith CDs. Tracks: 1-3 San Francisco, 4-22 Hammersmith.

I'm A Poet / Flashback (01.93.0199) / Colorado and Saturday Night Live / October 1 and October 1992 / SB+
Notes: I love this one because of the crisp recording with little crowd noise. I highly recommend it. But watch out for the other CD with the same name! Tracks: 1-15 Colorado, 16-17 Saturday Night Live.

I'm A Poet / Paris / December 22, 1992 / AR?
Notes: Complete show featured on "Beethoven was Deaf."

In Person / CFC028 / Europe / 1995

Notes: Jo Cosgriff noted that this is the same concert that was on the video "Introducing Morrissey." "Black-eyed susan" is the cut as on "Sunny" but not as clear. Track 18 was recorded "live in Scotland, February 1995" and the first 17 were recorded live in England, February 1995.

King Lear / Lear Sound? / Hammersmith Odeon, London / October 4, 1991 / SB
Notes: The recording level is a little too loud on this one. Some of the song transitions are bad - probably recorded off the radio. Also, it's not the complete show.

Love To See Him! / Dead Dog Records (SE 417) / Orlando, Florida / 1992 / SB-

Notes: First, the sleeve is so not Morrissey. Second, it claims to be a radio broadcast. Someone must have been holding a little tape recorder near a radio for this one. It sounds horrible! Avoid it.

Notes: This CD is hopefully a first of several. This homepsun CD's tracks are taken from CD singles. These hard-to-find b-sides are collected here in a nice package. The CD is worth getting for Track 21 alone. Don't pass this one up.
