Db Live Santa Monica '72…vinyl Details

Well, ain’t that poster love?

With a little over a fortnight to go until the UK/European release of David Bowie – Live Santa Monica ’72, (North America/Canada is scheduled for July 22nd) we can now give you details of the limited edition vinyl issue of the album.

The heavyweight double vinyl LP will come in a non-gatefold wide spine sleeve which will include a large folded (six panels) reproduction of the above George Underwood-designed DAVID BOWIE LIVE poster.

The vinyl itself will be housed in two inner sleeves which will each be printed with one half of George’s original Live 72 album sleeve design while the reverse side of each inner will feature Jon Levicke‘s photographs.

The cover will be the same design as the CD and, like the CD, it will also be numbered.

Stay tuned for a BowieNet contest to win signed copies of both the CD and the vinyl.

There will also be a separate contest for copies of the vinyl aimed at North American/Canadian members who will need cheering up somehow…seeing as they will have to wait a whole month longer than everybody else.

For those not signed up for the DavidBowie.com e-mail newsletter, you may not know about the deals in the BowieStore right now. Here a couple of links from the last e-mail blast that may interest you…
