It seems that the DS official YT channel is endorsing some albums that I would have otherwised considered as bootlegs.

First, "Cologne" (which is Rockpalast 79, amputated of the DTTW intro, sad)

Now, this San Antonio 85. The track cutting seems to have been done by a pig, Tunnel of Love intro starts at the end of Wild West End...

Both seem to have decent sound quality. San Antonio is one of these few FM broadcast from the BIA tour, together with Wembley, Houston, Cleveland and Sydney.

Can they be considered as official releases? Of there were just added by a bot?

They are bootlegs.

Official YouTube channel uploading them is a commercial strategy to make money for the artist (supposed) from bootlegs.

Like bootlegging the bootleggers.

But they are good bootlegs, and sold as CDs as well, I wonder whether they stil get some kind of official endorsements, there are tons of bootlegs out there but only these 2 (San Antonio and Cologne) are on the official YT channel... They must have been selected somehow?

By the sound quality I guess, or maybe they go to YouTube, see the bootlegs uploaded and the number of visitors, and choose them.

Is San Antonio running a tad too fast ?
