Metamatic Forums Socialising The Green Room David Bowie

I was always a fan of the early years. The Glass Spiders Tour kind of soured me on his 'newer' stuff but lately I am giving it another go.

(Thankfully, there's a £12 version...phew! )

I'll be going for the standard edition - worth it for the Nassau recording, but the various cards and booklet look like they'll add some nice value to it, not unlike the boxed version of Santa Monica '72.

In the absence of any official word of new material (although I think he may still pull something out of the bag), this is at the moment, the best thing on offer, but at least it is one of his best albums and deserves the deluxe treatment.

I recently got hold of the seemingly rare recent CD release of the Reality Tour. Great live recording and a nice souvenir for me, since I saw that particular tour.

Me too. If you look closely at the £100 edition it's just the same album in 7 different formats and lots of pieces of paper and card - which is ludicrous. I'm also looking forward to a nice master of the Nassau bootleg.

thanks for posting. I've put the £11.99 version on the wishlist

ditto ... seems to be a popular choice.

tempted by the digital download edition though :
"Panic in Detroit" (Unedited alternative mix) – 13:09
:p

Crikey!!

Just seen this interesting article on Mojo from Bowie biographer David Buckley.

Very interesting. This would be great to hear.
