Reaching For The sky (Live London 1968) Released April 2022

Post by Robocop »

This is available currently only on Spotify and other streamers (Quobuz). I can't find much information on this release online. Its not been released in hard disc format yet. Even the official Leonard Cohen site has nothing on it. Certainly on Spotify its very listenable and surprised he had already written all these songs before 68'
Its released by Harvest according to Spotify but Harvest has nothing on it. In checking cover on Spotify it says BBC broadcast. I gather this may be recently remastered?

Can anyone enlighten me and others we wish to know more?

Hi,

Perhaps this -obvious bootleg- release is country restricted. Because I cannot see it on Spotify. We however have discussed these so-called Leonard Cohen releases before. Please refer to this thread:

Kind regards,
2008: Manchester, Brussels (2), Rotterdam - 2009: Lisboa - 2010: Lille, Dortmund - 2012: Ghent (3), Amsterdam (2) - 2013: Antwerp, Oberhausen, Brussels, Rotterdam, Amsterdam!

It appears that this recording was released in 2019, and it also appears that it is country-restricted on the streaming services ("because of licence rights").

Amazon Germany (.de) sells it as an mp3 album, but apparently it is also country restricted, because it would not let me buy it because of where I live.
