The boy in the bright blue suit, Jumped up on the stage…
Spurred on by the above leaflet no doubt, parents all over the UK were rushing out to their local record emporium to buy their teenage children copies of David Live, thirty five years ago todsy, while they could still take advantage of the more than generous discount.
It seems this discount was only aimed at UK buyers and it’s identifiable on earlier UK pressings by the PRICE CODE: FF Until Jan 1st 1975 on the reverse of the sleeve.
The promotion seemed to work as David Live went straight into the UK album chart at #2.
£3.78 ain’t half bad for one of the very best live albums of all time…and, incredibly, it’s almost five years since the release of the expanded 5.1 version that Tony Visconti did such a good job on. You can remind yourself of that release via the following stories…
