Main Description

NEW & SEALED 180g VINYL 4 x LP BOX SET

ALL ITEMS IN STOCK. ALL ITEMS POSTED SAME DAY IF PAYMENT RECEIVED BY 12 NOON (MON-FRI) OTHERWISE DISPATCHED NEXT WORKING DAY.

Bowie At The Beeb is a four-disc 180g vinyl box set, which was previously released on CD in 2000. This is the debut of the Best Of David’s Bowie’s BBC radio sessions from 1968 – 1972 on vinyl. The set comes in a lift off lid box and features a full colour 20 page booklet.

This vinyl version features ‘Oh! You Pretty Things’ from a Sounds Of The 70’s: Bob Harris session broadcast in September 1971 which was previously exclusive to the Japanese release of the CD. This performance features just David and Mick Ronson as a duo. Completely exclusive to the set, and therefore making it’s debut, is the once lost ‘The Supermen’ from Sounds Of The 70’s: Andy Ferris session broadcast in March, 1970 and performed by The Hype. This recording was only re-discovered during the research for the original CD set and remained unreleased until now.
