What is this? Bowie reissues that aren't total ripoffs?
Best news i've heard in a long time, absolutely brilliant.

They wake up in the morning and that's the best they're going to feel all day."

I hope there are new pictures , especially with the DVD audio versions of these albums. I've been especially looking forward to David Live- hoping there would be some more Diamond Dog tour information and pictures. This is excellent news! Too bad we've got to wait about 6 months for them though.

the BEST news of this news:

The DVDA !!! of David Live

thatll blow our brains!

Does the DVD audio format possess the ability to have multiple layers or something?

---

there is the possibility of several soundtracks.

Will it possess the setero, 5.1 and original vinyl mixes?

---

it would make sense to have stereo AND 5.1, maybe even dts, but that's an extra.

Providing DVDA will play on my DVD player I think I'll invest in that option since my DVD player is connected to my stereo anyway.

---

dvd audios don't play in dvd video players. but since the dvd audio format itself is pretty much dead, i guess it's like the REM dvdas, which have a DVD video and a DVD audio layer, each with several soundtracks. at least if they want to reach sales figures with more than two digits...

"Have you tried... not being a mutant?"

I'm slightly surprised they kept the names "David Live" and "Stage" since they have re-jigged the mix and running order. The new sets should be a great improvement, but I'm sure old ones may get quickly forgotten.

What about the cover art? I know of at least 2 covers existing for both of these live albums on official releases. Or will they go with something newly created?

And still holding my breath on some live 74/78 footage on the DVDA. Even if it's a simple teaser. Other acts have put on a video on thier DVDAs

I cant wait that long!!!

You're such a wonderful person... but you got problems

I think I may have an attack of some kind! This news is unbelievable! I knew they were being reissued but I am ecstatic that the original running order has been restored PLUS some never before released tracks! I looks to me that the covers of both the albums (seen on BowieNet) have been refreshened-- so maybe they will keep the original covers?? Cant wait to hear Stage with some audiance response-- get that LIVE feeling going! David Live is my fave Live album so hearing it restored (muchly restored in comparison to my 15 year old Ryko cassette). I am happy.

Has the value of the these old Rykos just dropped under the $70US mark yet?

Excellent I knew it would pop up sooner or later.

Especially considering Tony himself said it was going to be included. I think the most exciting part is that, as Wabbit pointed out, they're finally starting to do something right with these reissues, although I'm still waiting for Tin Machine II.
