Vinyl bootlegs

Often found on 2CD format, this is the 3LP version of the Basel 28.06.92 concert:

Calling Wembley (part of the 16.09.91 gig);  On Every Street In Munich 11.10.91;  Live In '85 (often thought to be Mackay '86 due to the date on the sleeve even though "Mackay" isn't printed anywhere on it!  Actually Brussels, May 85;  Wembley Stadium '88 (Mandela gig 11.06.88).

Only one bootleg here:  Dire Straits World Tour from Frankfurt 08.10.91.  It says "from a hot summer night in Mainhattan" on the reverse!  Yellow EP is  Heavy Fuel with interesting tracks.  Bottom left is LP of the soundtrack to An Officer and a Gentleman including TOL.  Centre is a special edition YLT which donated royalties to Great Ormond Street Hospital (for sick kids).  Interestingly it doesn't include the intro in this version.

Totally. I remember when I bought my first DS bootleg. The Mandella one. I thought it was official. Perfect sound. And even the simple artwork worked. http://www.graphikus.com/boots/#dire-straits-1988

Have both of these as well. The 1982 has such an awful sound but features a stunning version of the Sultans solo

And nowadays is one of the jewels of the crown. I saw one copy sold by more of 500 euros in Ebay...

Let´s boogie around is one of the rare and hard to find as well.

I think that Live at Leeds is not from the same generation as those bootlegs, which are mainly from 90ies or even 80ies, and released by "real" labels like Swinging pigs for example.

Live at Leeds came from a tree between fans around early 2000ies if memory serves, and even if it was burned onto CD, it wasn't a "real" sliver pressed one, or did I miss something ?

I think I bought it around Christmas 2014, from a Spanish ebay seller. Sealed. So most probably a very recent one!
