I guess it's how you define genuine.
It was cited here in 2017 as a 3 CD product.
@Cornflakes at the time said:
"CD 2 appears to be the BBC Whistle Test concert show recorded at Derby Assembly Rooms in December 1983, but with the songs in a different order and the studio versions of The Boy and Heaven Knows added in."
As they have cunningly left the gig information off it, there's no way to confirm it.
That said, I'd trust Cornflake's judgement on this one.
Much like 'Poetry Hour', it looks like an odd, cobbled together copyright dodging affair.
The art/vinyl colour does stand out though.
The CD version offered much more than the vinyl:
It looks like they culled any of the established artists on the cover versions section of the record. I wonder why!?
Looks like a tenuous cash grab using vinyl collectors this time around.
It is available as a pre-order on Rough Trade too:

It says: "made in Mexico" on the CD.
