Then I got the small black box…
We’re more than pleased to be able to announce further details of the David Bowie – Live Santa Monica ’72 limited edition CD. Details of the vinyl packaging will follow later.
? The David Bowie – Live Santa Monica ’72 limited edition CD will be housed in a lidded box, similar to the Ziggy Motion Picture packaging, (which was a clam shell box) but different in that the top and the base will be two separate parts.
? The box will have a canvas finish with a stickered image on the front which includes a reproduction of the original ticket for the October 20th Santa Monica concert. The seat number is replaced with the stamped limited edition number. (See above)
The box will contain the following:
? A sixteen page booklet with shots taken at the actual show.
? Four photo cards (below). These are facsimiles of the publicity images that were given to the press ahead of the show.
? A fold-out double-sided poster (below) that reprints Robert Hilburn‘s original review of the gig for the LA Times on one side and the We Told You So press advert on the other.
? The disc wallet/pouchette utilises George Underwood‘s cover art for the original unreleased official Santa Monica album.
David Bowie – Live Santa Monica ’72 is scheduled for a June 30th release through EMI Catalogue Marketing, and, as I say, the vinyl packaging will be different to the CD version.
