The only copy I've ever seen of this is a dingy third (fourth?) hand CD that I sort-of nicked from a close friend (that he sort-of nicked from his friend... it's a wicked cycle). It has a Japanese price sticker on the cover. (It originally cost 4200 yen.) According to the print on the CD it is "for promotional use only, not for sale." Versions of London Bye Ta-Ta, The Prettiest Star, John, I'm Only Dancing, Rebel Rebel, and Wild-Eyed Boy from Freecloud are the same as featured on Sound + Vision, only poor quality. You Didn't Hear It From Me is 1984/Dodo. Holy Holy, Conversation Piece, Memory of a Free Festival Pts 1 & 2, Bombers, It's Gonna Be Me, and Who Can I Be Now? are all Ryko bonus tracks. What makes this record worth having is the version of All the Young Dudes, for which the master recording was lost until recently. However, I believe the same version is featured on the recent Best Of 1969-74, likely much better sound quality. Also of interest: Tired Of My Life is an infant incarnation of It's No Game a la Crosby, Stills, and Nash (feel free to shudder). The cover of Waiting for the Man featured here is quite possibly the worst raping Bowie has ever committed on tape, almost as misconceived as his cover of Neighborhood Threat, for which I'd like to hang him by his toenails. Oh yeah, it's bad. (No rating)
