Richard Thompson interviews ,broadcasts and recordings .
Although Richard
Thompson does not approve of fans recording his concerts , he does make
up for this by providing at least one radio broadcast when he tours and
he is usually up for a radio interview or two as well .The 1997 Australasian
tour was no exception ,with 50 and 60 minute Radio broadcasts of concerts
in Australia and New Zealand, as well as some interviews on ABC and Zap
radio. A few shows were also recorded by fans and can be traded if you
look around enough, but please don't pester me for them as I can't provide
you with the recordings .

To my knowledge there are no other recordings of the 97 tour in circulation , however, this does NOT mean that there are not more in the hands of collectors or radio stations . The ABC would very likely have recorded the whole of The Basement show , but inquiries as to its existence have been fruitless so far.
