David Bowie - well ok, his record company - has announced the June 16th release (on 2CD and download) of the most sought-after vinyl album of this year's Record Store Day, David Bowie Cracked Actor - Live Los Angeles '74 as well as two very strictly limited edition gold vinyl albums, The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars and Hunky Dory.
Originally released as a triple vinyl album for this year’s Record Store Day, Cracked Actor - Live In Los Angeles is a limited edition 2CD digipak with a twelve page booklet featuring notes from the original LA Amphitheatre show programme and a contemporary piece about the LA ‘Philly Dogs’ shows from Rolling Stone's Richard Cromelin dated 10th October, 1974. Neither of these was featured in the vinyl package.
It will also be available as a hi-res 96/24 download, a standard download and Mastered For iTunes (MFiT). A standard jewel case 2CD with twelve page booklet will then replace the limited digipak. The vinyl edition will not be re-pressed and re-released.
The gold vinyl versions of The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars and Hunky Dory are being released 45 years to the day of the first issuing of Ziggy. They will only be available as a strictly limited edition one-off run, so don't miss out! All are available to pre-order now.
