"Cafe De Paris" vs "Beautiful Strange"

I got "Beautiful Strange" CD already, but how does the "Cafe De Paris" bootleg compare ? Which is the best version of this 98 gig?

beautiful strange was a soundboard of the edited show taken from the tv broadcast (it was also officially released on vhs via paisley park/internet), there is also an audience recording of the full show which is twice as long as the edited version. not the best quality, but not the worst either. if you have one soundboard you don't need another, but you might want the audience recording

Both of those boots (by title) are soundboards, but sourced from the broadcast. If you are referring to 8EAUTI4UL 5TRAN6E (Thunderball), Beautiful Strange (Bambi), Cafe De Paris + CD-Rom (Sabotage) and Cafe de Paris (Fanmade without CD-Rom), they should all be very close in quality.

I see there's a third Cafe De Paris (Confusion) that was mentioned previously.

Review coming soon: http://www.thedigitalgarden.org/c.html
