How can it be legal if the producer of the release does not own the rights to reproduction?

I would be surprised that they are legal release in Europe (including UK).
The loophole of the 80's is over now.

Public domain = EVERYBODY owns the rights to reproduction - even you, Mathijs!

So it goes. In a way it is great that all this material is free for anyone to release (at least in UK & EU), and we can buy it nowadays legally, but at the same time it is a bit sad that they didn't release it officially before the time bound aspired. With that I mean that if the sonic quality is not that good - like, for example, Padre69 mentioned above - there might have been some sound improvements if had been released officially. Well, I could be wrong, though - nothing could have been done (thinking of Ladies and Gentlemen sound track - but then again they did alter the Brussels Affair soundscape)
In any case, probably they thought that there is not that much money involved in order to trying to protect the rights for 1972 live material (the 1971 is pretty much done so, since I guess the broadcasted Leeds material is probably the only that commercially valuable stuff from that tour). There also seem to have popped up some ABKCO era live material - at least Honolulu 1966 - could it be that the manouvre ABKCO tried with that suspicious youtube trick, turned out not to be successfull after all? Or someone is just brave and not afraid of Klein family lawyers?

So a radio station broadcasts a bootleg in 1972, and 50 years later the material is in the public domain, free to put on a disc and earn money with it?
I don't believe that at all.
So next year Brussels 1973 will be in the public domain, even though the rights are with ABKCO and KBFH?
Also, my understanding is that all radio shows from before January 1 1978 are in the public domain. However, the contents of the show can be still under copyrights protection. Example: the sketches from a cabaret show from the 1960's is in the public domain, but any music played in that show might be under copyrights. Thus you can release the cabaret show only if you get the rights to the music or if you take the music out.

I bet (a) complete Roundhouse show(s) (sounding way better than Leeds) would be pretty valuable as well

Surely! But I guess that's an item - if there actually exists more than is already released - that is hidden deep in their vaults...

This has been an emerging industry: taking 2nd, 3rd, or 4th generation digital copies of shows that have fallen into the public domain, printing them on vinyl, and selling them online.
I want to know how the band gets paid.

If a live album by the Stones won’t sell many copies, who is persuading the record companies to take a gamble with Dylan and Young’s ongoing live releases? They’re both reasonably popular artists but don’t come close to the Stones. Young’s Anthology set must have cost a fortune to produce but how many copies did it sell?
Yes , I know .Just mentioned it as close in time .Quote

Actually Buffalo June 15th was in 1975, not 1972.
