Fans of "The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars" will home in on this disc. Many of the tunes here are more immediately hard-edged than the “official” versions on your RCA vinyl (or remastered CD). This is Ziggy Stardust blistering the backside of rock’n’roll with the help of occasional flashes of Martian Spider-genius, and boy, are they having a good time. Listen to Ronson’s fingerboard slashing on “Moonage Daydream” and tell me the man wasn’t ahead of his time. Bowie gives the nod to Lou Reed with a high-energy version of “White Light White Heat”, and the overall impression is that all tracks are rougher and louder than the sugared vinyl versions we know. Bloody good stuff and wicked fun – play ‘em back to back and see what I mean...

Advantages: excellent music, history recorded, Dylan at war with the audience, unique expirence Disadvantages: addictive, NONE!
...'The Royal Albert Hall' bootleg became the most talked about, sought after and significant bootleg in the history of music. So much so that is was effectively legalised and turned into an official release by Columbia and released in a rather wonderful package in 1998. This is one of the most written about and discussed albums to ever be laid down on tape. Personally never had I read and thought so much about an album that I hadn't actually bought. In the past the album and the event it captures has been the sole focus for discussion on such top end television programmes as Newsnight on the BBC. It seems every Bob Dylan fan loves the album, and they hail it as one of the greatest albums ever. With all this in mind when I finally decided the time had come to actually buy it I ordered it with very high expectations indeed!

...part with band portraits on the other parts along with pictures of the places the album was recorded with info such as musicians, production and song writing credits again there are no lyrics, so if I have got any of the words wrong sorry it was a case of doing the laborious task of stopping and starting the album over and over again and trying to work out the words.
This album is available on the Amazon site for £11.99 plus P+P or from the market place on the same site for about a fiver plus P+P.
All the back ground information came from the officialBlue Nile website and I again used as my main source an article from the site called “Songs of Love & transport”....
