6.2 What about the official bootlegs?

Marillion have released a number of live CD's on their own label, called
Racket Records.  The first one is called "Live at the Borderline" which was
recorded at the Borderline club in London at May 9, 1992. The second disc
is called "Live at Caracas" and was recorded in Caracas Venezuela on
September 30, 1992. The Caracas recording is much cleaner and according to
some better than the Borderline disc. Others prefer the Borderline disc
because it's closer to a 'real' live concert (i.e. it's not perfect). More
info is in the bootleg list (see chapter on bootlegs). The third disc is
called "Live at Glasgow Barrowlands", and is recorded on December 4, during
the Seasons End tour. A fourth double CD "marillionrochester" was issued as
a "thank you" each donator to the Tour Fund, and is a limited pressing not
availble for purchase. A fifth CD is planned from the "This Strange Tour"
and will be a 2-disc set, hopefully available some time in March of 1998.

Originally these were only available to fan club members for a limited
time, but on 23 January 1998 Racket Records set up The Racket Club Online
and re-released all Racket Records releases, available to everyone:
