David Bowie BBC Sessions 1969-1972 [Sampler] - The Album
This album was issued in a limited release in 1996 from the
archives of the BBC as a teaser for three supposedly upcoming volumes
(the liner notes even include the track listings for all of these).
It includes tracks from various BBC live shows such as Sounds Of
The Seventies and the Bob Harris show. It is
unclear who owns the rights to these original, previously officially
unreleased tracks, and the current story is that Bowie supposedly sued
to keep the following three albums from being released.
However, recent news reports (September 1996) indicate that the BBC
is planning to open up its vaults and publish the tracks to which it believes
it has ownership. Latest word is perhaps in early 1997.

by what was to be the Spiders From Mars, and also a veiled
reference to Elton John during the version of
Space Oddity when he sings
"Oh rocket man!".
