Booklet in the rip (harmonia mundi HMU 907205 / HMX 2907205, p.35, scanned as "booklet -single (HMX 2907205).pdf"): "Recorded: June 17-18, 1997, Theatre de Poissy, France, in conjunction with a live performance June 15, 1997". The same page prints (P)(C) 1998, 2004 harmonia mundi usa, so the 1998 previously in this field was the phonogram/release year, not the sessions. Day left unset because the sessions straddle 17-18 June. The cue in the rip also carries REM DATE 1997 and the ISRCs read USHM19720501ff (year-of-reference 97).
