Hello All, I have all of these bootlegs (I guess you must have seen my website) Interpretation is a Japanese bootleg which covers the same ground as the bootlegs "The Thrill Of It All" and "Super Golden Radio Shows No.33" The inserts are a nice pastiche of Viva. Live Dates Vol. 1&2 is another CD version of the Stockholm '76 boot released as "Silk Circles" and "Why Do You Think I'm A Funky Chick?" and "For Europeans" It's in black CD cases with green stickers with the track listings on the front. I believe it's origins are in Korea, I've never seen another copy. World Ballad Collections is a real oddity. I bought it from a guy in Moscow. `A 1999 Russian Bootleg on Storm Records, it consists of the tracks: Oh Yeah Carrickfergus That's How Strong My Love Is Jealous Guy Avalon In Every Dreamhome A Heartache (Live) - from Viva More Than This This Island Earth Smoke Gets In Your eyes Running Wild When She Walks In The Room Slave To Love No Strange Delight Don't Stop The Dance Rain, Rain, Rain (honestly!) I'll See You Again Pretty eclectic selection huh? It is so badly booted that one of the tracks is by another artist altogether. None of these boots are CD-R's.

Russia(!!) of all places. I wanted it because of the bonus track, which is the Noel Coward tribute "I'll See You Again," and the price, including shipping from Russia, was under $17. It has notable flaws: there is a tiny skip in the Coward song (which is still gorgeous and made it worth the price for me), the dynamics vary noticebly, and some soppy 80's-style ballad has been substituted for one track on my copy! Track list includes 16 songs, all of which are taken from the standard studio versions, ("Dream Home" is the _Viva!_ version minus ten seconds of crowd cheers): "Oh Yeah," "Carrickfergus," "That's How Strong My Love Is," "Jealous Guy," "Avalon'" "In Every Dream Home a Heartache (live)" "More Than This," "This Island Earth," "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes," "Running Wild," "When She Walks in the Room," "Slave to Love," "No Strange Delight," ?*%#@!?, "Rain, Rain, Rain," and "I'll See You Again." ?*%#@!?, which is labeled "Don't Stop the Dance," is probably something called "Hold On To the Night" sung by a (shudder) Celine-Dionnish male tenor ultra-soulful balladeer whose voice I should recognize but do not! I'd say "carpe emptor" on this one, unless it's going very cheap....

I missed your subsequent mail, Mark as I'm lax to say the least at checking my mails, I had four pages to go through. Such a hectic schedule you see! If anybody finds the whereabouts of a copy for sale please announce it.
