Such is the stuff from where dreams are woven…
It’s always nice to start a new month with some good news and I think you’ll agree this is rather good news.
We first mentioned this one almost a year ago (08.11.2009 NEWS: STATION TO STATION FOUR DISC SET DUE NEXT YEAR) and it is with much pleasure that we are now able to exclusively announce the release of EMI’s 3-CD Special Edition and 5-CD, DVD and heavyweight vinyl Deluxe Edition of David Bowie’s massively influential 1976 album, Station To Station …along with the much bootlegged fan favourite: Live Nassau Coliseum ’76.
Both the Special and Deluxe Editions are due on September 20th.
Here’s the breakdown of what you can expect to find in each of these brilliant packages…
