David Bowie / Bowie at the Beeb / four-LP vinyl box set

bowiebeeb4LP

Over fifteen years after the original CD release, the best of David Bowie‘s BBC radio sessions – Bowie at the Beeb –  is being issued as a 4LP vinyl box set.

These sessions date from 1968 to 1972 and feature unique recordings of some of Bowie’s best-loved compositions such as Ziggy Stardust, Moonage Daydream, Starman, Space Oddity and Changes.

This new four disc 180g vinyl set adds two tracks to the original 37-song collection issued on CD. They are Oh! You Pretty Things from the Sounds Of The 70s Bob Harris session (previously exclusive to the Japanese CD release) and The Supermen from the Sounds Of The 70s Andy Ferris session, performed by ‘The Hype’ (aka David Bowie and The Tony Visconti Trio). The latter is previously unreleased and exclusive to this set.

This new 4LP vinyl box comes in a lift off lid box and features a full colour 20 page booklet and it’s released on February 26 2016.
