David Bowie - Live in Santa Monica ’72: best release of 2008?

The new album, David Bowie - Live in Santa Monica ’72, just might well be the best release of 2008 so far. It’s certainly the best Bowie live album, superior to the Ziggy Retirement gig captured in London the following year.

Taken from a widely-bootlegged FM radio broadcast, David Bowie - Live in Santa Monica ’72 is the album you’d use to demonstrate Bowie’s early-career charisma.

A must-have in any half decent rockpop collection.
