Reaching back to the turbulent highs of the Diamond Dogs tour of ’74, this collection of greatest hits throughout the 1970s, highlights the transitionary style of persona that Bowie employed for his artistic ventures while also weathering personal battles that would take him to Berlin and ultimately, back to America as the Thin White Duke. Ever the changing and supercharged force of creation, Bowie’s command of his art is illustrated throughout these unique performances that brilliantly capture the rapidly shifting styles that brought us Ziggy, The Duke and the return of Major Tom.
Get Yer Vinyl Out proudly presents the man who fell to earth and changed pop music forever; David Bowie, performing live for broadcast. Superb, professionally remastered with extensive liner notes and wonderful imagery.
