Finding the Black Sessions

I know they sometimes come out as bootlegs (e.g. Belle & Sebastian's) but are these French answers to the Peel sessions ever released officially (or is there any way to get the archives via the radio)? My French apparently isn't up to this task.

I have no idea how to get copies of them, but the only one I have is the Bonnie Billy one--e-mail if you want to trade for a copy or something.

three years pass...

A Seller has recently popped up on eBay hawking goods of the Black Sessions kind.

Out of curiosity, do you own any of the Black Sessions? I recently acquired the Elbow session and found my copy skips {but there's no scratch!} in one track, goes inexplicably silent for nearly 10 seconds in another, and has those lovely digital/MP3 gaps between songs. Are these flaws common to them?

I only have mp3s, all of which are ok. I kind of want that Boo Radleys one, I think.

I guess with MP3s you'd end up with the gaps (unless maybe you do the gapless playback thing in iTunes). I'm just wondering aloud if the quuality of the CDs in this limited pressing is really this, well, lousy.

That said, the audio's fine (it's just the digital gaps and the other digital snafus) and I'd love to get my hands on either/both of the Radiohead sessions - if for nothing more than curiosity's sake.
