First time I have heard of this bootleg? BREAK OF DAY - It's a part of the Night in London concert.

 :) Someone on the hub shared a version of this group of songs ages ago but I didn't know that it had been the subject of a bootleg. I thought it may just have been a file that was missing the rest of the songs, as happens on the hub, some times.

Unfortunately it is in only 128kbps lossy format also......The artwork suggests that it is a soundboard recording so I

Yeah, remember seeing this at record fairs and such at the time, pretty pointless, somebody just made an audio recording of ANIL.

I don't know if this was taken "strait" from the Night In London because the sound quality is slightly better than the other bootleg from this concert.  Since Sultans isn't on this one I would suspect it was taken directly when the Jools Holland show was broadcast, hence the superior sound.  I seem to recall that Sultans wasn't broadcast but I think the songs on this CD were (although it's a long time ago now).

Pretty sure Sultans was broadcast, there were a couple of different versions of the broadcast, they did an extended version later in the week and then I think the VHS release was longer still.

Still have VHS recordings of the different BBC broadcasts kicking about I think.

Ah, I wasn't aware of two different broadcasts.  However the Break of Day bootleg seems to be taken from the one I saw from my ever decreasing memory!
