The bootleg scene seems to have died down in recent years & one of the main reasons for this is that it is much easier now for people to get hold of the equipment to make their own CDR's. With most bootleggers choosing CD over vinyl, the demise of the real bootlegs seem inevitable. Here we take a look at the bootleg items that have surfaced throughout Garys career. Please note that only real pressed CDs have been listed and not home burned CDRs |

LIVE AT THE ROXY This white label L.P comes with a paper wrap round cover, and features 12 songs recorded live.In recent years it has come to light that the recording is not from the Roxy club, the most likely venue being the Rock garden in London February 1st 1978.The quality is surprisingly good for a recording probably taped on a small cassette recorder. Beggars Banquet took the unusual step to include this recording as extra tracks on the 20th anniversary re-master of the Tubeway army CD album. The songs included are, Motherless faces, Boys, Blue eyes, You dont know me, My shadow in vain, Me my head, Thats too bad, Basic J, Do your best, Oh didnt I say,I'm a poser & Pure St joy. |

HAMMERSMITH
ODEON
1983 What can you say about this one, other than its a bit
messy when it comes to the artwork, It actually features a picture of
Fish on the front cover, It states it was recorded in 1982 when in
fact it was 1983, and to top it all it has an incorrect track
listing.Never the less the quality of the recording is superb,
probably lifted direct from the BBC transcription disc of the same show.
It features the following songs. Remind me to smile, Metal, This prison moon, Down in the park, This is my house, The iceman comes, Films, and Cars. |
