Description

Selected titles from the private collection of a music business veteran are now being made available for the first time. Titles offered by this Seller are one-owner and came directly from the pressing plant, record company warehouse, other label reps or record store unless otherwise noted. 

Grading is based on visual inspection.

  • This 3 LP set consists of tracks that were previously unreleased commercially. Inferior quality, unmastered unofficial (bootlegs) versions were previously available.
  • Side 'F' is etched, no music.
  • Recorded live at Los Angeles Amphitheatre, L.A. September 5,1974 as part of the BBC coverage of Bowie's 1974 tour. Some recordings and footage from the concert were first broadcast in 1975 on the BBC TV special "Cracked Actor". In 1990 the professionally recorded tapes were first made available unofficially in a different mix than the one included on this official release. There are a myriad of releases, including some that contain the full intro (here reduced to less than two minutes) and more of the stage commentary from Bowie himself than is included on the official release. 
  • This Triple LP set is in a Tri-Fold cover.
  • It is a Limited Edition of 17,000 copies worldwide.
  • Made in the EU for release in the US.
  • Factory Sealed.
