JAMES FAQ - BOOTLEGS

Question : I've seen on a few people bootleg lists the gig "Brixton 1994."  Is this the show on the bootleg CD "A Strange Day"?

One of the Three's response : First of all, A Strange Day CD is a French radio recording from the Lyon Transbordeur show in November 1993, not Brixton.

The James gig at Brixton Academy took place on December 9, 1993.  James' only UK show in 1994 was the Glastonbury Festival.  The confusion about the date arises as such : the gig was recorded for broadcast by the BBC but was never actually aired in the UK until 1994. It was also broadcast on European radio stations and can be found on the "England 1993" and "Sounds and Moods" bootlegs.  The show was also syndicated by the US radio network Westwood One who are in the business of providing "In Concert" type series to US radio stations. Two versions of the Brixton broadcast with different tracklistings were sent out to US radio stations in 1994 - hence the confusion about both the date and the tracklisting on this recording.
