Simple:

Is it worth getting? I've found a seemingly near mint copy online and the seller is asking $20 for it, including shipping. It's the cheapest I can find right now and since I live in the US, its cheaper to buy from within the states, shipping-wise. I've definitely found cheaper copies internationally, but they carry a SERIOUSLY HIGH shipping charge for such a cheap LP.

But it's really just to satisfy my curiosity on how it sounds compared to the original David Live, from 1974. I have an original RCA cassette tape and it is in surprisingly miraculous shape.

I know it contains poor editing all over, but is it worth $20, even in near mint condition? I'm just starting a Bowie vinyl collection and I'm trying to just pick singles and albums here or there that I find personally interesting.

I would greatly appreciate anyone's personal opinions or suggestions. If there is a cheaper copy I can find online, without outrageous overseas shipping costs, I'd love to know.

I knew the only way I can truly find out if it's worth throwing a 'Jackson' at it is by asking the greatest fanbase located on the greatest website on Earth, [insert website name here].

If you were at a market browsing and you saw one every cheaply, then maybe.....

I'd wait and save my dollars and buy the David Live album, unless you were happy to have lots of duplicated music.

If you like putting record sleeves on walls, it's not a bad concert photo, even though the concert photo is 4 years after the music and he looks very different.

Thank you Colin. I'm gonna pass on it for now. Maybe if it springs up for a much cheaper price. I just picked up Ziggy Stardust: The Motion Picture for $14.99 (US RCA Pressing) in amazing condition and I'm more than satisfied with it. I don't see a point in anyone spending more than that for "Rock Concert" or "At the Tower Philadelphia".

I wish people around here would dump their Bowie vinyls into the thrift store bins. I'm sick of seeing a million Captain and Tenille LPs supported by a healthy stock of damaged classical music records.
