Commentaire : For anyone who thinks that the « Shout To The Top » 4CD set of « The Rise And Rise of Ziggy Stardust » is the shit when it comes to Bowie’s BBC-sessions, think again. These three silver disc bootlegs have been produced directly from the master tapes compiled in preparation for the aborted « Bowie at the BEEB » 3CD-set set to be released on the NMC-label in the mid-nineties. The STTP-discs simply took these recordings, replete with all clicks, pops and sector boundary errors, and then boosted them by 5db… In this torrent you can find the original recordings, with most clicks & pops and all SBE’s carefully removed and with no unnecessary « hard limiting ». As a bonus, the discs contain a set of demo & studio recordings from 1967-1969 which have been doing the rounds on numberous bootleg CD compilations but nowhere sound as clean as they do here (they are seemingly taken directly from the master tape also used for the vinyl bootleg album, « Little Toy Soldier »).
