A live recording from Sting's "1988 Nothing Like The Sun" tour, recorded in Los Angeles on September 21st, is now available from the "Legendary" series. He also performed in Japan about a month later, and the brilliance of this tour is well-known. The band members, including then-up-and-coming Branford Marsalis and Kenny Kirkland, are also captivating. While a compact 58-minute recording, it begins with a lively introduction by Peter Gabriel and is well-structured, making it enjoyable even for newcomers.

In recent years, the "Mike Millard Tapes" have been increasingly digitized from direct masters or low-generation tapes. These tapes were recorded by Mike Millard, a taper familiar to fans for his exceptional audience recording skills. This label has released several recordings using these newly digitized Mike Millard Tapes as masters, in two patterns: "Brushed Mike Millard Tapes" and "Legendary Mike Millard Tapes." Not all Mike Millard tapes have perfect sound quality; some have considerable room for improvement, and those that have been significantly edited and improved are the "Brushed" series. Those that were originally close to perfect and had little room for improvement, and only minor edits such as light editing between tracks are made, are the "Legendary" series.
