Buzzcocks - live 1993-2001 (2002 web only cd)

It may be a bit before I have the chance to rip any more vinyl, so here's another one from my considerable CD trove. This is a live Buzzcocks CD, sold exclusively through the band's website in 2002. Adorned in a stickered, cardboard sleeve, and limited to 2000 copies from what I recall (and surely sold out by now), it features 21 songs from a multitude of concerts performed around the globe between 1993 and 2001. Superb soundboard quality throughout the entirety of the disk, including many of their signature tunes, plus oldies rarely performed live like "Paradise" and "Are Everything." It's also not a bad place to sample some material from their oft unheard studio albums recorded during this period. Enjoy (or not).
