On this page I'll list the bootlegs I have for trade. I am not interested in selling. I'll include a picture of the CD jacket (if I have one), and comments. Please note the trades will be in tape or cd-r format, not original cd or lp's .

Label and catalog number: BIG MUSIC, BIG 091 Format: CD [1994] Quality: excellent soundboard, stereo | Comments : This is one of the best bootlegs from the US "The Queen Is Dead" tour, it even includes Morrissey and Marr cursing at the security guards! Only "Bigmouth Strikes Again" is missing to make the concert complete.
BUTTERFLY COLLECTOR, THE
 |
Label and catalog number: BIG MUSIC, BIG098 Format: CD [1994] Quality: very good (Amsterdam) to good (Manchester) | Comments :The Amsterdam concert comes from a broadcast to Dutch radio KRO, and is almost complete. "You've Got Everything Now" is missing and the track listing is resequenced. The last few tracks are a bit slow. But this is still the best bootleg for this concert. The Manchester concert is complete. It is the earliest Smiths concert available on bootleg (also on cd on "Morrissey 1959-1986"). It was their third concert ever.

CRADLE SNATCHERS, THE
 |
Label and catalog number: EAR 41CD Format: CD [1992] Quality: good (Troy Tate), fair (Peel sessions) |
The live version of "What Do You See In Him?" is labeled "Wonderful Woman" and the concert is incorrectly dated 3/83.
The first 4 tracks are mislabeled "These Things Take Time", "What Difference Does It Make?", "Handsome Devil" and "The Night Has Opened My Eyes" even though they are described as "the final radio sessions". There is a bootleg 7" titled "The Final Radio Sessions" with the same mistake. The makers of this cd must have transfered the tracks from that 7". Similarly, the rest of the cd must have been taken from the "Hand That Rocks The Cradle" and "A Nice Bit Of Meat" vinyl bootlegs. Contributed from www.passionsjustlikemine.com EL DORADO

 |
Label and catalog number: ?? Format: CD Quality: poor to very good |
Comments : This used to be a Smiths fan's favourite because it included many rarities otherwise unavailable. Now most of those tracks are available in better quality on more common bootleg cds, except perhaps the duet with Pete Burns at London's "Royal Albert Hall" and the "Please, Please, Please..." in Dublin which has nothing peculiar about it.
