Artwork Included
OU: This is a direct copy of a double cdr recording I have in my collection which I purchased from a Uk high street record shop just before Christmas.
It is a copy of Bowie live at The Rainbow Theatre 19-8-72 and is the only known recording of "The Ziggy Stardust Shows" with the Lindsey Kemp mime troup, so it's historical significance to Bowie fans is enormous.
This is what Bassman has to say about this recording:
"COMMENTS: In August '72 Bowie staged a couple of special shows known as "The Ziggy Stardust Shows", including the Lindsey Kemp mime troup and a specially built stage. This is a release of the only known tape of one of these shows. The sound quality is so-so, but it doesn't matter.
The tape ends in the beginning of Moonage Daydream, and I'm sure that at least Rock'n'roll Suicide was played too? .................A great Australian release"!
The BBC stuff although on the artwork of my discs wasn't included, it is just the show.
As always with cdr recordings you can never vouch for the source material used.
Soundwise with a bit of tweaking with a grahic equaliser you can actually get this sounding very good indeed. The good thing about the recording is it doesn't fluctuate so your ears adjust to the sound very quickly.
The recording is a bit thin on the bass, however you can here Bowie's voice quite clearly in front of the mix,and the band are balanced in the back ground.
Don't get me wrong this is not of the standard of Santa Monica or Hammersmith Odeon
but it is still very pleasant to listen to.
As always share freely but never sell. Bowie is a current recording artist so support him by buying his official cd's and merchandise etc.
I hope you enjoy it.

Brilliant! Thanks a lot! Been looking for a FLAC version of this for ages! :-)
Thanks for this one man. David Bowie happens to be my favourite artist, any of his boots would be most welcome!
Pure magic, thanks so so much! But what happened to the bonus tracks? Have they been issued on commercial releases?
Thanks so much for the early Bowie. I know about the Santa Monica show. I had a copy of it years before they released it. But I don't know about the Hammersmith Odeon show; is that the final Ziggy show that was broadcast on ABC's 'In Concert'.
Don't let the less than perfect sound quality deter you. It is very exciting and completely listenable! Great show.
Love on.
