Hey everyone,
I know that these recordings have been shared in the past, however, I have found this version on Guitars101 and it claims to be FLAC.
I'm no expert whatsoever, but the files seem too small to be proper FLAC, so they're likely MP3 sourced. If someone could do an analysis on this and see if it's really lossless or not would be great! link

I'm no expert or anything but the only lossless one seems to be the 1989 fan club message, which has been available for a while. Spectrograms reveal that all other tracks cut off at around 15 kHz per channel or lower, which indicates they're either lossy, processed and/or poorly sourced.
I briefly listened to all the tracks and they do sound lossy to me, they're certainly not the best quality out there. CMI's expanded collection for "The Miracle" is probably a far more reliable compilation for these rarities.

This was shared by me a couple of years here at QZ ;)
Lossy of course
If you are no expert then why do you care? Everything should be ok to you soundwise.
Guitars101 is a fine mainstream rock site but no diehard fan of any artist could find any live gem there, unless you have been in a coma for the past 20 years.
Or just want to expand your musical territory. If you wake up in the morning with the bizarre urge of listening a UK(the band) live performance, then Guitars101 is the perfect choice. It happened to me.

The only reason I made this topic was that, these particular recordings have never been shared before in a lossless format. So, I thought I had found them in FLAC but it obviously turned out not to be true.
