25 (bootleg "special holiday" edition)

~ Release by Adele (see all versions of this release, 20 available)

Annotation

Historical Production & Provenance Note:
This entry chronicles a specific 20-track digital "Special Holiday Edition" package compiled, tagged, and distributed exclusively within the Dutch file-sharing community for the 2015 winter holidays.

The release was curated and posted by the prominent Dutch archivist 'Rudaphos', natively distributed through the legacy Music4All network forum hub (music4all.in). The package structures the core 11-track studio masterpiece of '25' and appends a premium 9-track bonus tier containing international deluxe studio cuts alongside curated soundboard acoustic live performances captured during Adele's late-2015 global promotional television appearances. All original filenames from this network distribution carry the unique curator prefix "Ruda".
