Bowie David

Denna samling följer David Bowies enastående kreativa utveckling 1968-1980 genom sällsynta demos, studioouttakes, alternativa versioner och TV-framträdanden. Inspelningarna ger en unik inblick i hans ständiga konstnärliga förnyelse och den kreativa processen bakom en av den moderna musikhistoriens mest inflytelserika karriärer.

Despite the majority of fans still believing that David Bowie's performance at the Hammersmith Odeon on July 3rd 1973 was the last time his Ziggy Stardust persona was witnessed, in truth one further show took place in London, at the famous Marquee Club in Wardour Street, in which Bowie once more played as the androgynous space alien.<br/><br/>This 2LP set features the entire broadcast on vinyl for the first time with, alongside Bowie and the Spiders, The Troggs, Marianne Faithful, and the little-known Carmen, a Brit/American 'flamenco/rock' ensemble, rarely heard of since.
