I should have said "Wire-related". These include the tons of punk rock compilations, one-offs (eg, the Erasure single and Volume magazine), and cover versions. These don't include albums or cassettes. There's a vicious rumor that Kevin Eden (the Wire biographer) has the *complete* bootleg collection. In my opnion, these things should be recorded to DAT and placed in an underground, radiation-proof, steel chamber.
