This live 2-CD album features performances recorded at Earl’s Court in London on June 30 and July 1, 1978 during David Bowie’s “Isolar II” Tour.  This stand ended the second, European leg of the tour.  Tony Visconti, who produced more than a dozen albums for Bowie throughout his career, recorded the 1978 concert which was later mixed by Bowie and David Richards in Montreux, Switzerland for a possible live album at the time. It would ultimately be the Stages live compilation that would represent the tour for audiences and this concert would not be heard until its debut on Record Store Day 2018.  Also due today in brick-and-mortar independent stores are two exclusive vinyl LPs of the Bowie soundtrack Christiane F. – Wir Kinder Von Bahnoff Zoo and David Bowie In Bertolt Brecht’s Baal.

      Totally! That remix of YOU CAN’T HURRY LOVE was in constant rotation this weekend in my house! THIS IS MUSIC! And the vocals are awe inspiring. What a shame that state of music today!

        I’m really glad they are doing actual physical CDs again. I hope they go back and release whatever digital only things they did on CD as well, I didn’t get any of those. Not sure how many I missed but digital is just not my thing.

    I am also hoping they will do more physical releases of the Motown Unreleased sets a la the 1966 set.
