David Bowie/Germany 1978 & more

The official box “A NEW CAREER IN A NEW TOWN (1977-1982)” has also been released, and the “Berlin era” is attracting even more attention. This is the best soundboard album, which can be said to be a complement to the official box. There are three types of soundboard live performances in this work: “Bremen, May 30, 1978 (9 songs)”, “Berlin, May 16, 1978 (3 songs)”, and “Dallas, April 10, 1978 (6 songs)”. There are some shows that are familiar to enthusiasts, but this is a decisive board using the superb master that updates the highest peak in the past. Our shop has been delivering the top of the soundboard supervised by the world authority of Bowie research for a long time, and this work is the latest bullet. Each master is a carefully selected product backed by deep understanding and knowledge, and although the live itself is familiar, the sound is not familiar. Let’s take a closer look at each sound source. [May 30, 1978 Bremen “MUSIKLADEN TV EXTRA”] First up is the familiar “MUSIKLADEN TV EXTRA” for fans. This is the longest and highest version. Speaking of “MUSIKLADEN”, ​​it is a famous program that was broadcast by ZDF (Second German Television) from 1972 to 1984. Bowie appeared on “May 30, 1978”, which was in the middle of the European leg of “ISOLAR II TOUR”, and it was broadcast on August 4 of the same year. It is a famous program that has produced masterpieces of many bands / artists, and Bowie is no exception, and it is a famous recording that has produced many existing ones. This work is the highest version. The point is the broadcast period, and it is not the main broadcast of the 1980s but the digital rebroadcast version of 2016. Originally, it was a superb broadcast known as an official class, but this work has zero degradation sound unique to digital. The super beautiful sound board of the original master, which would have been sleeping at the broadcasting station, flows out. Not only the quality but also the contents are wonderful. I won’t write in detail about the traditional famous broadcast, but the band’s performance in the middle of the tour is different from ordinary TV appearances. Currently, the expansion version of “STAGES” recorded in the official box “A NEW CAREER IN A NEW TOWN” is a hot topic, but they will also play “Rebel Rebel” which you can’t hear even then. In addition, this work is not only the best but also the longest. “What In The World”, which was cut on the TV broadcast, is also included. There are also professional shots of poor quality in this take, but this work is not a drop of that sound. The best version broadcast on FM radio in the 1980s. As expected, it does not reach the main part of the 2016 rebroadcast version, but you can enjoy it with the best sound that exists. [May 16, 1978 Berlin performance “BERLIN 1978” EP] Next to appear is a genuine official record. This is the EP “BERLIN 1978”. This EP was produced to coincide with the release of “A NEW CAREER IN A NEW TOWN” and was released as a 24-hour limited streaming instead of a CD. Three songs, “Be My Wife”, “Sense Of Doubt” and “Breaking Glass”, were distributed from the Berlin performance of the third European leg of the “ISOLAR II TOUR” (the 34th performance overall). In particular, the quality of the masterpieces “Be My Wife” and “Breaking Glass” from “LOW”, which cannot be heard on the other two sound boards included in this work, is as expected from the latest official. It is an even more vivid and exquisite sound board than “MUSIKLADEN”, ​​and the mix and mastering are perfect. In fact, strictly speaking, the pitch is slightly out of sync, but that is also the official design. In order to permanently preserve the official work that disappeared for 24 hours only, it was recorded as it was officially. [April 10, 1978 Dallas performance “ON STAGE”] The last one is a familiar sound board to fans, the Dallas performance (the 9th performance of “ISOLAR II TOUR”) broadcast on the American program “ON STAGE”. This has also been loved for a long time, but in this work it is recorded from the pre-broadcast version before the broadcast. This is also a master sound that is different from the air check. It is a superb sound board that is comparable to listening to the genuine official EP in succession. As can be said about the Berlin performance mentioned above, the performance of the actual concert is still very passionate. There are also big cheers mixed in, but Bowie’s spirit of witnessing the “frenzy of real fans” that is different from the Sakura customers of the broadcasting station is also a wonderful live. From the historical famous program to the latest official work. This is a piece that packs the top sound board in “1978” with the highest quality. This work alone is an official-class superb live album, but it is also a great supplement to the official box set “A NEW CAREER IN A NEW TOWN”. Please enjoy this glorious treasure of the “Berlin era” to your heart’s content.
