Whilst I realise that these early Bowie album re-issues are mainly playing on the enthusiast's aim for completeness, this is one of the better, in my opinion. I am, admittedly, a big fan of the Duke, and as such am interested in the Arnold Corns versions on the second disc (especially as I hadn't really heard of them until the Bowie at the Beeb BBC sessions release). My main reason for this purchase (as I already owned the single CD version) was the track Velvet Goldmine, of which I hadn't got a copy. The demo versions of Lady and Ziggy Stardust are interesting but John, I'm Only Dancing and The Supermen seem to be simply fillers. To a certain extent this is true of Round and Round and Holy Holy, but I'm not sure they are otherwise in CD format, so I can see the appeal.
It is a good presentation - I do really like book style without the cheap plastic cases (and Bowie's releases do tend be in this style now).
I wouldn't suggest this to newcomers - purely because of the relative price between it and the single version, but to a Bowie fan I think this just about pulls its weight.
