Here is a list of the Wire bootlegs which I have. I am willing to trade them, but not to sell them. If you have nothing to trade, then you can send me blank tapes to copy onto. Note that these are presented as I have them; i. e., sometimes with several different shows on one tape. I realize that this is annoying, but c'est la vie. In many cases the playing time has been rounded up to the nearest 45 min. The symbol "//" indicates the second side of the tape. The sound quality rating is very subjective; caveat emptor simulatorum!
