What are the "laid sessions" songs on the Strange Day bootleg? Are they demo tracks or from various radio appearances-- or what?

My copy of "A Strange Day" has the Lyon Transbordeur gig from Nov 1993 (go to One Of the Three gigography for the song listing) plus what sounds to be demoes of Low Low Low, Say Something, Sometimes, Laid, Five-o, Tomorrow.

those six tracks are songs James played live on Radio 1 throughout the day on September 23 1993 (the release date for Laid in the UK). They feature on the Laid 2nd cd single and also on the remastered Laid album

I knew you would provide the right answer in a matter of time  So this is the radio session where they allegedly wrote Tomorrow through the day between songs and then performed it for the very first time live on radio? |

nice story, but considering they played Tomorrow a week or so earlier at the WOMAD shows in San Francisco and Ohio and at the Neil Young support at Bad Mergentheim in July of that year, it should be taken with a rather large pinch of salt.

Thanks for the info. So are those tracks the BBC's "James Day" sessions? The tracklisting matches, but the date listed for that particular radio session is September 27, not September 23.

27th september 1993 certainly was "James Day" on radio one - it was my 16th birthday...
i had a poster saying "Get Laid by James 27.09.93" and of course "get laid by james in under 3 minutes" or whatever.....
sadly no one took me up on the offer at the time....
