For some B.C. General Employees' Union members taking part in job action, the weeks-long pickets and lost wages are making it hard to make ends meet.

Relief for Canada from U.S. tariffs on steel and aluminum may come thanks to renewed interest in a pipeline project first proposed more than 15 years ago.

There was a time long since past, where record companies failed to realise that the unheard or unreleased recordings by major artists they had sitting in the vaults were of value. The packaging and releasing of an ever increasing amount of classic bootlegs usually with anniversary editions by major artists and their most acclaimed albums is now an avalanche and difficult to keep up with. Thankfully the following site: https://superdeluxeedition.com/ (of which I have no affiliation with) is a must visit, if you wish to keep up with new and updated classic releases. The packaging and box sets being released now are such high quality and beautiful objects to own. I recently took delivery of Bob Dylan's Bootleg Series Vol. 12: 1965-1966 The Cutting Edge Deluxe Edition, it was highlighted on the previously mentioned website. Amazon were selling it for £45 so I took the plunge. It's the first Dylan bootleg series I've bought since Vol. 7 No Direction Home. Getting back to my point, the following classic bootlegs are being readied for forthcoming release: **Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here** 50th anniversary (Has unreleased tracks that appear on the boot: **David Bowie - I Can't Give Everything Away** 2002-2016 box (Includes the Montreux Jazz Festival show from 2002 with a near complete performance of 'Low'. **Rolling Stones - Black and Blue** 50th anniversary (Includes the Aux Abattoirs, Paris June 1976 show and the Earls Court show) **Bruce Springsteen - Nebraska** 4CD edition (This one is a bit cheaper than the Tracks 2 issue!) **Jimi Hendrix - Bold As Love** 4CD (This includes the TV show from Sweden in 1967 as well as tracks included on many of the Alternate Bold as Love bootlegs) **Little Feat - The Last Record Album** 4CD (Includes the Orpheum Theatre, Boston 1975 show) The blog is rapidly becoming obsolete, anyway onto boots that have not been released, yet! **Mazzy Star - Black Session (French radio show)** **France-inter, Studio 106** , Maison de la Radio **26 October, 1993** **Session No. 38** recorded live at Studio 105, Paris, France for a radio broadcast There have been two bootlegs downloaded this year so far, that eclipse all others by some margin. Tom Waits 'Barfly on the Wall' previously posted and this one featuring Mazzy Star. This is a quantum leap from any versions circulating. The sound quality on this is fantastic and it has always been a favourite Black Session of mine, despite its previous flaws. While I wouldn't recommend judging a band, new to yourself by hearing a bootleg first. Begin with the studio albums first but this is an exception and you can start here if you've never heard the band before. It comprises tracks from their first two albums, She Hangs Brightly (1990) and So Tonight That I Might See (1993) plus three covers and was included in the 'Bootlegs of the Year 2015-22' document on page 52. **Setlist:** 01.
