COMMENTS: Thank
God for Australian bootleggers! This is the most interesting release in
years. For the first time is this very rare and odd BBC recording available
on disc, and it is complete! Bowie and Ronson play as a duo, so the versions
are very "stripped", but never the less perforrmed splendidly.
The two other radio sessions are with Bowie and Gabrels as a duo, and were
recorded for two different US radio stations. I don't know if the dates
for those two sessions are recording dates or broadcast dates? SCARY MONSTERS
is played in a so called "country" version, and is actually very
good! All of the songs are great versions, and it's a pity that THE SUPERMEN
wasn't played in full. The original pressing of this CD had a fault in EIGHT
LINE POEM, and all copies except for 10 were destroyed. These ten discs
have a differnt title and a different cover. The title on the cover is UNDER
THE TABLE and has a different picture. The back insert is in black and white
only and has thicker letters than the normal cover. The discs have credits
to Tao Jones on them plus the original title. All sessions on the disc are
in excellent sound quality. A true must! |
