i will also be picking a copy up - albeit it will probably have to be in a week or so - as, whilst i tend to skip the re-releases, it's important to show support when there's something really cool imho. i'm also crossing my fingers that the release of these audio cassettes as CDs is a sign that the rehearsal VHS might soon be released as a DVD(?). Is this 2 CD set a re-release or did I read your post wrong? When did this stuff come out on cassette?

So the original source media for this bootleg is cassette - but they've never been released either officially or unofficially...
...whereas & the comment about the re-releases was about other things that the FanClub has released of late - where i tend not to pick them up.
[Edit]
So my overall point was that, given that this is new & exciting then, imho, it's really worth throwing some money at - rather than just waiting for flacs to surface...
...not least as there's a WA rehearsal VHS tape out there which could become a DVD - & the success of each bootleg will clearly have some impact on what's released in the future.

ah, ok. got it. I'd never heard of this material existing until now. I think the only tour rehearsal audio I have from any artist is of Phil Collins from is 1990-02-09 Windsor rehearsal (soundboard). It's definitely really neat to have this sort of live audio without hearing the audience.

Yeah, there's odd bits of stuff that i just happen to know about for no good reason - & had double checked the source for this CD set with one of my contacts... ...not least as i don't have a track listing for the WA rehearsal video & so wanted to ensure that it wasn't just an audio version of that - which it definitely isn't.

i've just realised that i can use the 'pay after delivery' option via PayPal - which surprised me a little as it normally doesn't work for non-UK purchases... ...so have just ordered my copy. It won't show up on the site for me 🤔

It won't show up on the site for me 🤔 Beyond having to have a confirmed bank account associated, i don't actually know how you qualify to get it as an option in the UK - as the faq simply says that it's offered to 'select customers'.
www.paypal.com/uk/smarthelp/article/what-is-pay-after-delivery-faq918
Now it could be that, it's a quantity & reliability thing - where because i buy so much on eBay & there has never been a payment issue then it's a valued customer perk, to encourage me to buy more as i can defer payments a couple of weeks...
...or it might be that, unless someone's really shonky or it's a very new PP account, effectively everyone is a 'select customer'...
...but i've had the option for this for several years now.

Duran Duran - This Band Is Perfect 2CD: DD Fan Club • DPRO-29814-2 (US 2019) Pulled straight off the mixing desk, these rehearsal tracks capture the band transitioning from the acoustic performances of songs from "The Wedding Album" to the electric stage presentation of the "No Ordinary Tour". Recorded just a few days after the live satellite broadcast from Tower Records in Los Angeles, this previously unheard material draws back the curtain and takes fans into the band's private rehearsal space to reveal all the magic and hard work that goes into a Duran Duran performance. Presented here is a selection of the band's own reference audio recordings from the barker hangar at the Santa Monica, California airport just prior to the start of their eleven month world tour. It hits you with a groove to dilate your collector's mind. Digitally mixed and mastered from the original archive tapes, 2CD set presented in a DVD-clamshell box with original picture sleeve, comes with 16-page oversized booklet of a rare promotional photographs plus official EMI/Parlophone biography. Original 2CD set professionally mastered and manufactured (not a CD-R). Perfect soundboard quality (10). On order! I am sure that I'll like it a lot

Now that's more like it!
Less of those slightly dodgy (to me anyway) dvd rips, and more unreleased and unheard material.
