DAVID BOWIE

David Bowie 

* BBC SESSION

Miscel     TAPE(?gen)     9.5        BBC Studios

From a radio show featuring lots of Bowie's (live) recordings he did over the years for the BBC. Some are kinda wimpy tunes ('Love You Till Tuesday' e.g.) but there most of them are real gems.
In the Velvet Underground cover 'White Light / White Heat' Bowie references Lou Reed.
This tape is now a bit superseded with the officially release 'Bowie At The Beeb' set (which I can recommend btw.)

Tracks:
Side 1:
White Light-White Heat / Love You Till Tuesday / In The Heat Of The Morning / Let Me Sleep Beside You / I'm Waiting For The Man / Looking For A Friend / Kooks / Ziggy Stardust / Starman / Andy Warhol / Rock 'N Roll Suicide
Side 2:
If There Was Something / Moonage Daydream

Great old (complete) Bowie show, with the late Mick Ronson doing some fantastic guitar playing. The show was broadcast on FM-radio so the sound is the best you can get for something this age. In between two electric sets, Bowie plays some awesome acoustic songs.
