In 2000, the lawless plundering of Bowie’s BBC sessions via myriad bootlegs and illegitimate releases came to a stop as those treasured early performances united in one rapturously received CD set. Now, 16 years later, this collection makes its vinyl debut: four 180-gram discs in a limited-edition box with a lift-off lid and full-color 20-page booklet. Bowie collectors should first take note of two, shall we say, space oddities you’ll find in this vinyl version. First, you get the Bowie/Mick Ronson duo performance of "Oh! You Pretty Things" from the 1971 "Sounds of the ’70s" Bob Harris session that was previously exclusive to the Japanese CD edition. Second, and fully exclusive to this vinyl set, is "The Supermen," performed by David and his backing band the Hype, recorded for a "Sounds of the ’70s" Andy Ferris session and originally broadcast in March 1970. Those ultra-rarities join all the other precious BBC performances found here: "In the Heat of the Morning," "Karma Man," "Amsterdam," "Bombers," "It Ain’t Easy," "Ziggy Stardust," "Queen Bitch," "Suffragette City," "Starman," "Changes," "Space Oddity," the VU covers "White Light/White Heat" and "Waiting for the Man" and more documents of an icon in the making. Rhino/Parlophone.
