This audio file comes from the a 20th anniversary special edition CD
issued by Sanpatte Records. Many thanks to mazzystar.free.fr fan Forum
member "jamband" (Mark) for kindly sharing a CDR copy of his original
CD I believe he found at a not-cheap price on ebay. A lossless FLAC
audio file of the CD can now be shared via the Forum boots list.
The prior versions of The Black Sessions listed in the boots list
were lacking in audio quality. I'd hoped a better version might
turn up. Now, thanks to jamband, we can enjoy a top quality audio
version of The Black Sessions.

In this file I've included jamband's photos, front & back, of the
CD insert.
Some other info. on it includes: "Les Archives des Black Sessions

QUOTE: "What are The Black Sessions:

Black Sessions are performances of the live music broadcast on the
French Radio station France Inter. These are recorded in front of a
live audience and feature on a C'est Lenoir show. A French Radio DJ's
name is Bernard Lenoir ("lenoir'' means "black" in english)

The first performance was in 1992 and since then many French and
international artists have performed Black Sessions.

Bernard Lenoir:

Bernard Lenoir is a radio pioneer, a living legend, a discoverer of new
talents in english, american and french rock/pop music. In the Black
Sessions he invites groups that are for the most part relative beginners
but who often go on to become references in the world of indie rock.
Unlike the BBC�s Peel Sessions the bands play live, in one take and
in front of an audience of 200 people.
The above sessions were released on a CD format as 'promotional releases'
for mostly local radio DJ's in Europe and North America by Sangatte Records.
The releases are in limited series of 2500.
