[lc850322-2]

source: radio broadcast (tape used is 3rd or 4th gen. from the VHS master tape soundtrack - source 1) (?)
length:
115 minutes (incomplete)

details:
double cassette bootleg Cohen in Warsaw (The Poland Album) (©1985 Akademickie Radio Pomorze, Szczecin, ARP 036/1-2).

- missing "Bird On The Wire", "The Stranger Song", "Story of Isaac" & "Memories".
- "The Law" is partially edited.

- "Hallelujah" is partial but, curiously, contains the segment that was missing on recording 1.
- rough cuts/edits between songs and Leonard's speeches.
- songs "The Law" and "Hey, That's No Way To Say Goodbye are not in right sequence order. "Tennesse Waltz" and "I Tried To Leave You" are inversed.
- some CD-R copies circulate with incorrect tape speed
