Like most successful rock acts, Tangerine Dream has
been given the dubious honour of being bootlegged.
For Freshman collectors, this means that illegal
recordings of the band's live concerts are sold on
illegally pressed LP's. Many of these bootleg LPs
have become collector's items over the years. Not
only do the fans appreciate the availablity of
these recordings, but each bootleg also has a story
to tell.
To speak in the words of the bootleg bible, the
"Hat Wacks" book : "A destinction had best be made
at this point between bootleg, pirate and
counterfeit records. A bootleg consists of
unreleased material recorded at concerts, studio
outtakes and radio or TV broadcasts. A pirate
album consists of released material without
attempting to make the LP look like an original. A
counterfeit album is an exact copy of an
officially released album."
It should be pointed out that some of the informa-
tions I give here are contradictory to those on the
bootleg covers, but in all cases I have found good
evidence to do so. In general : never trust a
bootleg cover...
Technical progress has opened the field of Compact
Disk releases to bootleggers, too. This is rather
new, so unless clearly marked as CDs all the
titles mentioned here have only been available on
LP.
In March and April of 1977, TD took the United
States by storm with a very successful tour. At the
same time they caught the attention of the American
bootleggers. An excerpt of one of the concerts
(maybe it's really Seattle April 21st) was made
available on LP and sold in neutral covers with
three different, photocopied inlay sheets bearing
the titles "Fotzenslecker", "Netz-Lautstaerke" and
"Babylon's Strange". Some of them have printed
labels, but on most pressings the printing is too
faded to be readable. Each edition seems to have
been very limited, judged by the fact that they
are all considered very rare these days. A very
small number was pressed on multicoloured vinyl.
Three years later, after a year of negotiations, TD
became the first western rock/pop band to play in
East Berlin, the capital of the German Democratic
Republic. They performed two shows at the Palast
der Republik on January 31st, 1980. Both shows were
broadcast on East Berlin radio. One part of this
broadcast was officially released by East Germany's
record label 'Amiga' as 'Quichotte Part I and II'
in 1980. Six years later a slightly remixed version
was made available world-wide as Pergamon'.
Another part of the broadcast was picked up by
bootleggers in West Berlin and released as
"Staatsgrenze West".
By now, this record has been sighted in four
slightly different versions. Several thousand
copies were pressed on black vinyl, a limited
number of 1000 came on pink vinyl, both with a
printed black and white cover. After running out of
pink vinyl at the pressing factory, the last few of
these 1000 copies were pressed on transparent,
dark-red vinyl. Apparently the producers ran out of
printed covers, too, as some copies have been sold
with a photocopied inlay sheet.
In 1988, another record appeared on the market,
which is not really a bootleg, but a counterfeit :
an illigal re-release of an officially available
record. The East German 'Amiga'-record ('Quichotte
Part I+II' ) was re-released in a few hundred
copies on black and transparent, dark-red vinyl in
Germany. The pressing quality is lousy, and the
record is only interesting for it's big, foldout-
poster-cover, showing a black and white photo of
the band in East Berlin. Some copies include a
sticker with the title "Don Quixotte". Copies on
multicoloured vinyl were announced, but have not
yet been spotted.
Before leaving for their tour of Japan in June
1983, TD played a memorial concert for Rainer
Werner Fassbinder on June 11. at the Alte Oper in
Frankfurt. A prolific director, writer and actor,
Fassbinder had been one of the most controversial
German filmmakers. The concert in Frankfurt's old
Opera House lasted only about 35 minutes, and most
of the material was pressed on a 10-inch, clear
vinyl bootleg with the label 'Dreams- Synthesizer
Special'. The record came in a clear plastic bag
with a blue inlay sheet "Fassbinder Memorial
Concert".
As the first edition of a few hundred copies sold
quickly, another 2000 were pressed in 1984, making
this the most common of all TD-bootlegs, especially
appreciated for it's excellent sound quality.
Several hundred copies were later destroyed in a
Police bust.
TD toured Australia for the second time in early
1982, appearing as the main act of a Festival.
Their performance at Sydney's Regent Theatre on
February 22nd was broadcast on Australian radio,
and an excellent tape of the show circulated among
collectors. For unknown reasons, several people
labeled the tape as "Melbourne 24.2.82", although
the Melbourne concert was on March 1st. With this
erroneous title, the tape fell into the hands of
German bootleggers, and "Leprous Appearance on
Wednesday" was born in 1984. It has a neutral
cover, and the green photocopied inlay sheet shows
invented titles for the featured tracks. Only 200
copies exist, half of them numbered from one to
100, the rest unnumbered.
1986 turned out to be the most active year of the
illegal contributors to the Tangerine Dream disco-
graphy, as none less than eight bootleg releases
until the middle of 1987 made a heavy attack on the
fan's finances.
"The Emerald Beyond", labeled as an Australian
production but apparently from Germany, features an
excellent recording of TD's encores at Detroit's
Ford Auditorium on March 31st, 1977. The frantic
crowd in the 'Capital of Heavy Metal' had driven TD
to an almost unique performance of 'Heavy Metal
Electronics'. Only 75 copies exist, 25 of them on
red vinyl, the rest on the ordinary black, all with
a black and white printed cover.
Just four of them were sold in 1986 at extremely
high prices, as during a campaign of the German
Phonographic industry against the bootleggers all
the rest had been confiscated in a police bust. In
1987, they were returned to the producer and
appeared on the market.
Early 1992 saw a re-release of this record on the
CD format under the misleading title Acoustic LSD -
Live in Seattle, USA "The Emerlad Beyond", stating
an edition of 500 copies.
A series of three bootlegs was issued within a few
months time, featuring material from TD's tours of
Great Britain in the early eighties. All three have
printed black and white covers, are on black vinyl
and claim to be limited editions of 150 copies
each.
The first 40 minutes of TD's concert at Preston
Guildhall, November 5th, 1980 are on "Undulation",
while "Space and Spheres" has the beginning of the
Newcastle City Hall concert on October 25th, 1981.
Another 20 minutes of each of these concerts are on
the "Space Trucking"-album. A limited edition of 5
numbered copies of "Undulation" has popped up with
a colour front inlay.
CD bootlegges put out "Undulation" in digital
format in 1992. The title of the 500-copies-edition
was Soundtrack for Fantasy, Live in Detroit, USA
"Undulation".
TD hadn't done any tours in Western Europe or the
United States between 1982 and 1986, so the major-
ity of bootlegs released was based on older
material.This changed with the tour of Great
Britain in early 1986, concluded with concerts in
Paris and Cologne.
Being beaten by Virgin Records with the quick
release of 'Logos' in 1982, this year the London
bootleggers came in first : "Timeless Space"
features the complete show at the Hammersmith Odeon
on March 3rd, 1986 on a 2-LP-record. The very nice
printed colour cover was done with more love of
detail than expertise. Besides a photo of the out-
of-time lineup Froese/ Franke/Schmoelling, the back
cover lists a fantasy TD-Fanclub adress. The P.O.-
box mentioned does not even exist. "Timeless
Space" is a limited edition of 300 (or a few
more...) partly numbered copies. The first 50 were
planned in red vinyl, but mispressed and never
released.
Some copies of the second LP of this set were
spotted in neutral covers with colour inlay sheets
under the title "The Nameless is the Origin". They
are labeled as a limited edition of 50 copies from
Australia, but most probably only a few copies of
this home-made offspring do exist.
Another concert of the Europe tour in Spring 1986
was released on "Electronic Inspiration-Live
1985". As mentioned before : never trust a bootleg
cover ! The sound quality is just too bad to find
out from which of the 1986 concerts this really is.
It comes in a printed b/w cover and is a limited
edition of a few hundred copies.
TD's only concert in Germany in 1986 took place in
the concert hall of Cologne's radio station WDR,
the 300 tickets were given for free to the listen-
ers of WDR, but die-hard fans from all over Europe
found ways to get tickets and met up there. The
first hour of TD's 100-minute performance was
broadcast live and gratefully recieved by German
bootleggers who made "Relativity" from it.
It is a limited edition of 100 numbered copies, 80
of which come on black vinyl with a neutral cover
and a green insert sheet with fantasy track titles.
10 copies on multicoloured vinyl have a neutral
cover with a brown insert, another 10 have a full-
size photo cover, photo labels and the insert
printed on a transparent sheet. Both multicoloured
series are numbered from one to ten !
In 1986, more than 9 years had passed since TD's
last live appearance in North America (aside from
three concerts in 1980). They recieved a warm
welcome from their fans and from the bootleg scene
on their North America tour in Summer 1986. The
result was a double album of their main set at
Toronto's Massey Hall on June 21st, whith one side
of their super-rare 1971 single 'Ultima Thule'
added as a bonus track on side four of "Undercover
Dreams". It is a limited edition of 100 copies, one
of the records being pressed on black structured
vinyl, the other on the customary black. The black,
neutral cover bears a b/w inlay sheet. All copies
are numbered, the last four (No. 97-100) are a
special edition with photo foldout cover and photo
labels.
Early 1988 saw a bootleg release that might well
become known as the most chaotic of all times. TD
had played on a Summer Festival in the ruins of a
Roman amphitheatre in Orange (France) on August 16,
1975. A well listenable tape recording of this
event circulated among collectors all over the
world, and in 1988 American bootleggers finally
pressed a bootleg from a very bad copy of it.
The bootleg exists in two forms : a LP and a 7"-
single with additional music material. There are
two major releases : the 'original', titled "A
Dream Unbound" with text on the labels and the
'reissue' (although both issues appeared at the
same time) "Seekers of Dreams", which has no text
on the labels. This applies for the LP and the 7".
All of these were sold in countless variations :
the LPs and singles on their own, or packages with
the LP and the single packed together. For each of
the LPs and singles (and their combinations in
packages), at least 5 different covers are known to
me. Some of them are just photocopied papers, but
most of them are printed colour sheets showing
fantasy and science fiction paintings. They were
well available all over the United States for some
time, so the edition should have been a few hundred
copies each. Copies of the LP "A Dream Unbound"
were released on white and red vinyl, too.
1986 and 1987 have been hard years for the serious
bootleg collectors. A lot of new titles were issued
every other month, several of them in Germany,
where the bootleg scene has been almost dried out
now after big raids of the Phonographic Industry
which put several bootleggers 'out of business'.
All of these issues were more or less limited
editions from one to a few hundred copies. They did
not, therefore, reach the level of general availa-
bility of "Staatsgrenze West" or "Fassbinder
Memorial". Their limited availability also subjec-
ted them to much speculation and vast price
differences, which is one of the reasons why I
don't list approximate prices here.
In 1990, a British mail order record shop offered
"a strictly limited quantity of a special edition,
studio quality live TD LP from their 1986 tour..."
for 10 Pounds. Those lucky enough to win the
"first come, first served"-race found "Parisian
Dreams - Teknikon" in their postbox, an excellent,
professionally remixed recording of their concert
at Paris Olympia in March 1990. It comes with a
simple insert cover (different colours have been
seen), some copies are numbered, but no quantity is
specified. The second part of this concert, filled
up with encores from another show, followed a few
weeks later in a similar shape as "Parisian Dreams
Too - Teknikon".
Thesame year saw the first bootleg sampler CD
"70/90" to be released, coming from the US. A
limited edition of 400 copies in twenty different,
elaborate covers gave it a very japanese
appearance, helping to keep the price up in the
sky. The CD has several old vinyl-only singles
tracks and several cuts from film soundtracks that
had not been released before.
TD's video album "Canyon Dreams", produced in 1987,
had easily gone gold in worldwide sales and won
high credits for the soundtrack. Miramar wouldn't
release it on CD before late 1991, and consequently
the bootleggers supplied the fans with what they
wanted : a pre-release of the official CD on a
bootleg LP "The Canyon Dreams". A full prited cover
and multicoloured vinyl point to an edition of
several hundred copies.
Back on the road after four years, the 1990 tour of
the United Kingdom was a mixed success. The Tangs
faced packed as well as only quarterly filled
venues. One of the hotter shows was held at
Bristol, and an excellent recording came out in
1991 as "Bicycle Race". It has a nice, printed
cover and comes on red, yellow or blue marbled
vinyl. Even copies on the customary black have been
spotted.
April 1992 : the CD "Danger Live" catches the
collectors by surprise. An hour of excellent
quality music, said to be compiled from two
concerts in Brussels in 1976. No tapes good enough
to serve as masters for this release had been
known. A very nice cover and label artwork add to
the attractivity of this gemstone. No doubt, the
500 copies won't last long.
Abusing the name of an organization of electronic
music fans an American bootlegger offered 7"-
singles with live versions of "House of the Rising
Sun" and a guitar solo shortly after.
That is all about the TD-bootlegs I've held in my
hands. Over the years of collecting, I have heard
countless rumours about other bootlegs. Some of
them may well exist, although in all cases I have
never heard of anyone who actually had them as a
part of a collection.
Two more titles can claim a good probability for
their existance, as different relieable hints on
them have come up to me : "US-tour 1977" (could
well be a double LP from Cleveland, April 2nd,
1977) and the "Reims Cathedrale December 13, 1974"-
bootleg which is said to be an edition of only 50
copies.
Several bootlegs have been announced among the
fans, but never been produced or distributed due to
police activities, like "Exit Stage West" or
"Dreams for Freedom/Snackbar Dreamer in Detroit",
on other occasions rumours about upcoming official
releases have been mistaken for bootlegs, like
'Live Miles'. TD already had this record on their
discography in 1983, but changed the title of the
new upcoming album to 'Poland' and used the title
for a live album in 1988. Other recordings, like
the music for the Chichester Festival in 1974 or
the soundtrack for "The Keep", were due for
official release, but never appeared because of
legal problems among the publishing companies.
So, if anyone out there has detailed informations
about any bootlegs not listed in this article, let
us know about them !
Also, people seem to confuse bootleg LPs with so-
called "bootleg tapes" or "live-tapes", which are
home-copied cassette recordings of TD concerts.
Especially at British and German record fairs such
tapes were frequently sold with photocopied inlay
covers, often with a title given to them.
There are some 'professional' bootleg cassette
releases, though. The borderline between more or
less private 'fan tapes' with nice photocopied
covers and cassette bootlegs is somewhat arbitrary,
but the following releases have professionally
printed covers and/or cassette labels, or were
very widely distributed.
Besides all the official and illegal LP releases,
TD's 1980 East Berlin gigs have also inspired a
cassette bootlegger. Labeled as a limited edition
of 28 copies, "Electronical Processor" comes with
printed black and white cover and labels.
TD's concert in support of the peace movement at
the Berlin Reichstag on August 29, 1981 was
released on a C90-tape with black and white inlay
cover and labels as "Tangerine Dream LIVE" and
an estimated amount of 1000 copies was distributed
in the peace movement scene.
"Soundtrack Box Vol. I" is an LP-size, printed box
with a plastic inlay holding 4 cassette tapes. The
music on them is taken from the video releases of
films TD has made the soundtracks for. It features
tracks from "The Keep", "Forbidden", "The Soldier"
and "Strange Behaviour" and comes with 2 black and
white inserts and a 12-page booklet. It is a
limited edition of 65 copies from Germany, 15 of
them are stamped as 'Promo-copies' and have an
extra tape with three more tracks from "The Keep".
Made in the same style, as a 'cassette box' comes
the "1988 US Tour Box", featuring concert
recordings from Milwaukee, Los Angeles, Detroit and
Toronto, as well as a radio interview on a total of
8 tapes. Included is a reprint of a TD-biography
published by the Washington Post. A "promo edition"
with a photo cover and colour tape labels and
covers exists, too.
"The Bootleg Box" was an edition of 25 red plastic
suitcases carrying 8 tapes that had been copied
from LP bootlegs mentioned above. A binder with
cover photocopies completes the set.
"Undercover Dreams" was released in a numbered
edition of 25 copies as a cassette version with a
plastic-coated cover and orange labels. The track
order has been changed to make it fit on a C90.
Even a video cassette bootleg with a professional
outfit does exist. A private videotape of the
concert at Bonner Springs on June 13, 1988
already circulated among collectors for a while
when a limited edition of 25 copies with full
colour cover and cassette labels plus a cardboard
inlay in a plastic box popped up, titled as "Kansas
City".
There is no doubt that increasing technical
possibilities will lead to more and more bootleg
tape releases. Just think about what one can do
with computer publishing systems and modern colour
photocopiers ! So the question will soon arise,
whether to keep track with these releases or to
file them under 'fan tapes'.

Hello Folks,
a lot of new stuff has come up recently, so here's an addition to my firs=
t
update posting in February. For complettists only...
-klaus-
LPs
---
* two new vinyl colours for "Canyon Dreams" have popped up : solid blue v=
inyl
and a transparent blue with balck/grey sparkles.
* in 1992, an American Distributor sold a 7"-Single, "Tangerine Dream Liv=
e
in the USA, 1988", with live a live version of 'House of the rising sun=
'
and another encore from the US-Tour '88 on it. Good Quality, nice item.
* "Die Medianen von Zymbiola" is a 'The Emerald Beyond', who's matrix num=
ber
has been scratched out and a hand-made cover replaced the original one.
CDs
---
* "Rare Trax 1" is the first bootleg using the format of recordable CD.
Tracks from old singles and samplers and some soundtrack exceerpts
make up the programme.
* "Danger Live", compiled from two concerts in Brussels, 1976, is one of
the bootlegs I like best : excellent music, excellent sound quality and
a very nice cover and label printing make this a gemstone.
* "Transformation", the first of three (see the following two items) of
the second occurence of recordable CD bootlegs. This one features an
hour of extasy from the Montreal 1977 concert. Made in UK (?).
* "Dreamtime" brings up an hour from the Newcastle 1981 concert and is
not taken from the 'Space and Sheres'/'Space Truckin' - LPs.
* similar to '70/90', "Fragments" has a selection of non-LP, live and
soundtrack pieces on it.
Rumours
-------
* as usual, don't count on this line, the heading sais it all....
* A CD with Live Material from 1988 as well as a CD from London, 1975
are said to be due for release soon.

Hello friends,
and again : a new release on the Bootleg Front :
C D
---
* In den G"arten Pharaos / Bicycle Race
^^
(German Umlaut)
A nice, printed cover, and a very good CD with live naterial from the
Bristol concert Nov 6, 1990. Roughly 28 of the 75 minutes of music have
already been on the LP-bootleg "Bicycle Race", the rest has only been
available on tape so far.
I've seen two versions, they differ in the background colour of the dis=
k
label printing, which is either red or blue.
I have 3 copies of each colour to swap/sell. Let your swap offers come
in. I'll post a price in a week or so, to give good swap offers really
the first priority. After that, they'll be sold on a first come, first
served basis, if there are any copies left...

Not that it's particularly new, but just to keep my own files (and
maybe some of yours) up to date.
Here are the new releases :
-klaus-
C D s
-----
* "In den Gaerten Pharaos" is available with a yellow label, too.
The blue and red labels are often referred to as "green" and "pink".
The colours are hard to name...
* "Sound and Effects" has 69 minutes from the concert in Ney York's
Radio City Music Hall in 1988. It has a professional outfit, seems to
be part of an "American Concerts Series" and some of the CDs have
a sticker "not licensed for Germany" :-). The sound quality is
not very good, though.
Rumours
-------
* already on order: "Live Improvised" (2CD,1974)
* announced : "Me'Rad" (CD,1976), "Ardem'O" (CD 1988), "Collected Endings=
"
(CD, 1976+1988), KLAUS SCHULZE "On Tour '83" 2CD.

Hi folks,
Was it just bad luck that I didn't meet anybody of you netlanders at the
SF, LA and Ventura shows or was nobody there ?
Anyway, after a very eventful trip I came back home and found four new
bootleg CDs in the pile of mail that had accumulated. Plus one I'm not
sure about whether I already posted the info, so, sorry if this is redund=
ant
KLAUS SCHULZE
-------------
* CD "Floating" Klaus Dieter Mueller's expertise on this one (as to be
included in "The Works") :
1) Mindphaser 37'17
2) Floating 36'36
Inlaycard states : "Recorded Live in De Vereeniging,
Nijmegen, November 21, 198_2_" The two tracks on this CD
sound musically like our own recording from the Nijmegen
concert from this 198_1_ (!) tour, but neither "Floating"
nor "Mindphaser" was performed. The music played got the
"Winsen" titles. The sound of this CD is very different
from our own recordings, as for instance a high frequency
rythm (hi-hat) was played and heard during long parts of
Winsen 1 (track 2 on CD) which is not at all audible on
the CD. This is because the main frequency range of the CD
is from approx. 80 to under 4 kHz only. About 5 minutes
from the beginning as well as at least 5 minutes from the
finale of Klaus' and Manuel's playing of Winsen 1 is also
not included on this CD - which is a musical barbarism.
The "ending" of Winsen 1 on CD is faked ! The title Winsen
2 (track 1 on CD) is complete.
* 2-CD "United States 83" A double CD from Klaus' tour around _Europe_in
1983. I didn't have time yet to compare with my tapes to
find out from which concert it actually is. KDM might be
able to find out... The sound quality is excellent, the
titles are given as
sequence one 43:59
sequence two 35:00
finale 10:31
TANGERINE DREAM :
------------------
C D ' s
-------
This is a series of three CDs on the "Silver Rarities" label. All have
space pictures as covers and are sub-titled as "argonautica americana
part one (two, three)".
* me-rad "recorded Live in USA 1976" Movement One 32:52
Movement Two 32:05
actually, it's an excellent recording of the concert in
Nottingham's Usher Hall, Nov. 8, 1976
* ARDEM 'O' "recorded live in USA 1988" Part one and two 54:43
it really is from the 1988 tour, but as with the KS
CD mentioned above I haven't had time to compare tapes yet.
Sound quality is very good.
* Collected Endings me-rad the encore 12:00
ardem 'o' part two 10:31
ardem 'o' the ending 31:09
* Live! Improvised! A double CD with an _excellent_ recording of the
infamous performance at Reims Cathedral in 1974.
The inside cover is acopy of the concert announcement.
Rumours :
---------
my supplier said that both are available and that he'll pick them up
for me over the weekend, so I'm quite confident about them :
* a double CD of the 1988 New York show, this time in decent sound
quality, is said to be out "real soon now". This release might be two
separate CDs with Part One and Two, respectively.
* another CD bootleg is out. No details known so far.

Hello friends, two more news from the Bootleg Front :
C D ' s
-------
* the 1988 music material on ARDEM'O and COLLECTED ENDINGS can be confirmed
to be from Columbus, Ohio Theater, 29.8.1988. For those among you who know
who made the original tape : he has nothing to do with this release.
Neither have I :-)
* ANTARCTICA seems to come from the same people who made IN DEN GAERTEN
PHARAOS. It has a very nice cover and the song titles are again taken from
old Popol Vuh LPs. The first 65 min are excerpts from the concert in
front of the Berlin Reichstag on Aug 1, 1987, the last 10 min are
identical to the first three tracks on IN DEN GAERTEN... (Bristol 1990).
The sound quality is excellent, the CD label is printed in an icey blue.

Some of these may be "old news", I only included them here to complete my
own files and the data in the "Updates".
C D s
-----
* "Prayer of Quiet Dreams", released in the US in a tri-fold cardboard
cover. Various soundtrack excerpts from 1971-1992 and two live tracks
from the 1992 US tour.
* "70/90" has been repackaged in tri-fold cardboard covers and distribut=
ed
in the USA.
* "Dreaming on Danforth Avenue" recorded live in Toronto, Oct 4, 1992.
A CD with white label background and a full colour foldout cover,
excellent sound quality.
V I D E O s
-----------
* "An evening in L.A" TD live in Los Angeles, Oct 30, 1992, encores from
the Detroit show and some TV interviews and video clips. A 3 hour video
in a printed box. The picture quality on my (VHS-) copy isn't good, but
the sound is quite clear.

Hi,
sorry for any duplicate Messages from me recently, it were hickups at
a transport site.
It's about time for another update on recent bootleg releases :
C D's
-----
* "Mystery Tracks" might be the release that finally makes TD prosecute
their bootleggers. It has pirates of hard-to-get official material
on it:
- the complete "Flashpoint" soundtrack CD (only a few playable copies
exist, and the LP is getting rare, too)
- "Quinoa", the exclusive CD release for members of the former TDIFC
(this particularly p*ssed Edgar off!)
- two tracks from a single with Chi Coltrane on vocals ('One Night in
Medina'/'I just want to rule my own life without you')
- "Dr. Destructo" from the soundtrack "Thief"
- "Rumpelstiltskin - Theme"
all in all 77 minutes in "official" quality.
* "Sonambulistic Imagery" is a 2CD set with a nice cover booklet and
features 108 minutes of live music from the Laguna Hills concert
in 1986. The sound quality is great.
* "Crazy for Dream" is a CD-R (or WORM-Disc, a recordable CD) and only
six copies were made. It features unreleased music composed for
"Canyon Dreams" and the film "Crazy for you".
* "Alien Air Music", another CD-R, brings us 57 minutes of live music
from various US concerts in 1986, 1988 and 1989. It comes in a wooden
box with a brass plate on it. Quality is great, too.
On the horizon : "3-Tier Dream", a triple CD box. I'll pick up my copy
at KLEMdag.

Hi,
just back from KLEMdag, here are two new releases:
C Ds
----
* "3 Tier Dream" The Connoisseur Collection CC 1744, UK, Edition 300
A triple CD with a 4-page inlay.
Tier 1: "Analogue Days" London Albert Hall 1976, 60:52 min
Tier 2: "Digital Times" London Hammersmith 1982, 67:29 min
(should be London Dominion!)
Tier 3: "Paris Dreams" Paris Olympia 1986, 37:01 min
"Another Perspective (1)" 3:41 min (both sound like live 1982)
"Another Perspective (2)" 5:02 min (this one's 'White Eagle')
The sound quality improves from very good ('Danger Live'ish) on
Tier 1 to excellent on Tier 3. The covers are either numbered or
marked "Promo".
Well, good sound but nothing new that couldn't be found in similar
quality on tapes floating around.
* "Dreaming" Musik Brandenburg TDCD 0193, Germany
The CD re-release of "Leprous Appearance on Wednesday" with "Ultima
Thule Part 1" added as a bonus track, 50:11 min overall. The CD is
mastered from the LP, so the sound isn't any better than it was
on the LP, but still good.
and still no signs of the "Keep"-CD.

Hi,
due to a hard disk crash (and backups from the stone age) I've lost
count on my B.D. Updates. The last one I have is #9. If anybody has
saved later Updates, please send them to me, thx.
Or maybe Dave gets to compile the digests for Oct-Dec, then I can look
them up myself...
C D's
-----
* "20th Century Serenades", the second part of Berlin 1.7.87, and as
excellent in sound quality as "Antarktis" was.
* "Dreaming", Sydney 1982. The CD re-release of the LP bootleg "Leprous
Appearance on Wednesday". A direct transfer from the LP, including
the silly intro, and not up to today's sound standards. "Ultima Thule
Part I", taken from 'Undercover Dreams' is included as a bonus track.
L P's
-----
* "Singet, denn der Gesang vertreibt die Woelfe" is a nice looking
picture disk LP, but musically it's just yet another release of
"Bicycle Race".
and some more ripoff releases courtesy of "Dream Collector":
- Mystery Tracks CD with pink label
- In den Gaerten Pharaos CD with red label
- Antarktis CD with white label

has 17 tracks from the film, studio tapes and radio broadcasts with
a total time of 74 min, giving a good overview of the material from
THE KEEP that's in circulation. Sound quality is acceptable,
it has a printed label and an alleged issue of 40 copies.
* "Fractal Realities in a shattered plane" is a one-off CD-R made as
a new year's gimmick with a nice box and cover. The music is from
TDs Melbourne 1982 concert.

Hi,
some more activity on the bootleg front. For those among you still
unaware of the fact : these bootleg release updates are collected
and archived in
ftp://cs.uwp.edu/pub/music/lists/tadream/bootlegged.dreams.update.
C D s :
-------
- "Three Tier Dream On", the sequel to the 3CD-Box, features another
41 mins from TDs 1986 Paris concert plus a pre-release-version
of "Cliffs of Sydney". Quality is the same as 'Parisian Dreams Too',
and it's alimited and numbered edition of 300 copies.
- "Sol et Luna - Mystery Tracks Vol. II" , another CD of rather rare
material. It features the complete 'Heartbreakers' - CD, the four
unreleased solo tracks from the '70-80'-box, 'Alexander Square',
'Oszillator Planet Concert' and an excerpt of an interview with
Edgar (from the Rockoon CD single) good sound quality, and from the
"usual" german source, so be prepared for more releases with different
labels. This one is striped gold/black.
- many new ripoff releases (courtesy : Dream Collector)
CD In den Gaerten Pharaos - white label
CD Antarktis - silver/blue , gold/black , black/silver
CD 20th Century Serenades - black/red , blue/brown , gold/red
CD Mystery Tracks - gold , aubergine
CD R=84tikon - blue , brown
- 2CD Ossiach Live. Not bootleg, but a pirate. The official 3-LP set
has been transferred (scratches and all) to CD. On it you can find
the otherwise unreleased 8:10 long "Oszillator Planet Concert" by TD.
excerpt of an interview with Edgar (from the Rockoon CD single)
good sound quality, and from the "usual" german source, so be
prepared for more releases with different labels. This one is
striped gold/black.
- "Spherical Harmonics One" features the first hour of an excellent
soundboard cut of TDs 1988 Boston concert.
- "The Coefficient of Aural Expansion One" might become another classic,
it brings us the 1975 concert in London's Royal Albert Hall in a sound
quality far superior even to the radio recordings floating around.
- "Rare Trax 1" had been announced in 1991 as a collection of rare
TD tracks, but was never produced. Now it's available on CD-R
(recordable CD) format. Very few copies sighted so far.
The track list :
1. ULTIMA THULE PART ONE 3:27
2. ULTIMA THULE PART TWO 4:17
3. LADY GREENGRASS 2:41
4. LOVE OF MINE 3:03

New Year, new boots (and rumours) !
as usual, this mail will soon be appended to :
ftp://cs.uwp.edu/pub/music/lists/tadream/misc/bootlegged.dreams.update
C D ' s
-------
- "The Dream is not always the same" is a CD-R from Germany, featuring
three concert excerpts from TD's Berlin concerts in 1976, 1980 and
1982, all in very good quality. What makes this limited edition of
just 10 copies very special is the packaging : a nice foldout colour
insert wraps the CD in a steel sleeve.
M C ' s
-------
- whoever thought the days of cassette boxes were over is herewith
proved wrong : "White Cloths" is a very nice colour box housing
two tapes and several good colour and b/w fotos from TD's legendary
concert as the first western rock band in East Berlin in 1980.
Playing time is 170 minutes with excerpts from both shows and
an interview conducted on East German radio. Both the fotots and
the excellent sound of the tapes make this a remarkable item.
rumour department : "Legend" and "The Keep" further delayed.

Hi,
two new releases have just come by, so here's a short update. For those
asking about other bootlegs, here's a pointer to more info :
These bootleg release updates are collected from the tadream
mailing list (tadream-request@cs.uwp.edu) and archived in:
ftp://cs.uwp.edu/pub/music/lists/tadream/bootlegged.dreams.update
For a comprehensive story about the bootlegs released before
May 1992 (basically the article from "Voices in the Dunes") get:
ftp://cs.uwp.edu/pub/music/lists/tadream/bootlegged.dreams
* "The Keep" has been released as a 'regular' bootleg CD now, while a
CD-R of most of the material had been available for some months.
The CD features nine tracks from the studio master tape of the soundtrack,
three more released by Edgar for German radio airplay and two remixes
taken from the 70/90 bootleg. Sound quality is not top notch, but bearable.
Fans of "The Keep" - go for it !
* "Tape Trax" is another one of those CD-R's that seem to be the hottest
stuff for the moment - until everybody has access to the equipment.
We get a sound samplin gof 'No Man's Land', some tracks from 'Legend'
and 'The Keep', 'Horns of Doom` from the Klem cassette and two live
tracks. All in all, a nice compilation, a very good cover, and a limited
edition of just 25 copies.
rumour department : 'Legend' and 'Rare Trax 2' coming soon.

Hi folks, 10 Oct 96
it's been quite a while, so here are some updates to what has surfaced
recently on the bootleg scene. During the next days I'll send a new,
complete bootlegged_dreams_updates to Dave to put it on the uwp archive.
L P 's
* this format is not dead yet... "Don't Walk - Dream Now" is a very
nicely packaged double LP from TD's concert in Berlin's Eissporthalle
on Feb 19, 1978. 101 minutes in reasonable sound quality from a
tour that's not yet been covered by any live releases. It comes in
a metal (!) box, includes a nice colour sheet and press quotes, is
a numbered edition of 200copies and the first twenty are in blue
vinyl.
C D ' s
* Montreal's CHOM-FM broadcasted TD's show at Place des Arts on April
10, 1977 ,and the tape of this eery broadcast circulated widely among
fans. Now part of it is available on the CD "Patrolling Space Borders".
74 minutes in excellent quality. Some copies have been sighted with
a different cover (but identical CD), titled "Laserium"
* The pressing factory messed up a "Legend" bootleg, featuring the
complete soundtrack plus some re-edits and live versions of tracks.
All copies were missing track three, and were destroyed. Only a few
"nostralgia" copies of this misprint are in circulation.

most of the recent activity has been on recordable CD's (CDR's). The
first three releases listed here were planned as "regular bootleg CDs"
by a source in the UK. When this guy got bust other fans resorted to
the CDR medium to make these masters available
* When bootleggers got access to the BBC's master tapes of TD's London
Royal Albert Hall appearance on April 2, 1975, a bootleg was not far
away. "The coefficent of aural expansion 1" has already been featured
in this coloumn. Most of it's copies were confiscated, though, and
Part 2 was never pressed on CD. The Magnificent Music Corporation of
Italy - acually, a British fan, released both Parts on recordable CDs.
Both Part 1 and Part 2 are a limited edition of 70 copies each.
Probably the highest-ever edition of a CDR...
* Similar story for Boston, Sept 6, 1988. But here the first part of
"Spherical Harmonics" was already widely distributed, so the same
guy released only Part 2 as another series of 70 numbered CDRs.
* "Absolutely Hypnotized" is a fan production of only two copies.
Included are extracts from London RAH 1975 and Cantu,Italy 1981.

Hello,
it's been a long time since I've posted any updates, and I'm still trying
to make up with 3 boxes of new, uncataloged material that has accumulated
since I've moved. Anyway, here's at least a brief list of what's new, and
in time I'll fill in the running times and qualities.
