“With your silicone hump and your ten-inch BAAL”
The RSD favourite, Welcome To The Blackout (Live London ’78), which was the best-selling RSD release in the UK and second best in the US, is due to be issued as a 2CD set and as standard and high resolution digital for download and streaming.
The CD is released on 29 June via Parlophone, as are exclusive vinyl “bricks and mortar” reissues for retail stores of: Christiane F. – Wir Kinder Von Bahnoff Zoo on red vinyl and a 10" trifold sleeve of David Bowie In Bertolt Brecht’s Baal.
2CD Set And Standard And High Resolution Digital For Download And Streaming
CHRISTIANE F. - WIR KINDER VOM BAHNOFF ZOO
Red Vinyl LP (Limited Edition “Brick & Mortar” Retail Exclusive)
IN BERTOLT BRECHT’S BAAL
10” EP (Limited Edition “Brick & Mortar” Retail Exclusive)
A Trio Of Releases Highlight Bowie Live And Studio Recordings Made Between 1978 and 1982
All Three Are Available Individually On 29 June From Parlophone
David Bowie released two classic studio albums between 1978 and 1982 (Lodger and Scary Monsters [And Super Creeps]), as well as a wealth of work for film, television and more. Bowie also found time to embark upon a massive world tour, documented by the double live album Stage, along with two acclaimed projects for film and television. On 29 June, Parlophone will revisit that prolific period with Welcome To The Blackout (Live London ’78), as well as two special vinyl reissues exclusively for “brick and mortar” retail stores: Christiane F. – Wir Kinder Von Bahnoff Zoo and David Bowie In Bertolt Brecht’s Baal.
The new releases begin with the CD and digital debut of Welcome To The Blackout (Live London ’78). This live album features performances recorded at Earl’s Court in London on 30 June and 1 July, 1978 during Bowie’s “Isolar II” Tour. The music was released earlier this year on vinyl as a strictly limited-edition triple-LP set for Record Store Day 2018.
Tony Visconti, who co-produced a dozen studio albums for Bowie throughout his career, recorded the 1978 concert which was later mixed by Bowie and David Richards.
The set naturally focuses on songs from the two albums Bowie released in 1977 – Low and “Heroes” as well as other earlier career highlights such as “Fame”, Ziggy Stardust”, “The Jean Genie” and “Station To Station” and the first ever live performance of “Sound And Vision”, included in this set was its debut live performance. Welcome To The Blackout (Live London ’78) will be available as a two-CD set as well as digitally for download and streaming in both standard and high-definition versions.
Christiane F. – Wir Kinder Von Bahnoff Zoo is the soundtrack to the 1981 film based on the 1978 autobiography by German actress Christiane Vera Felscherinow. The soundtrack incorporates songs from several Bowie albums, including “Stay” (Station To Station, 1976), “Warszawa” (Low, 1977) “V-2 Schneider” (“Heroes”, 1977), and “Look Back In Anger” (Lodger, 1979.) Released on vinyl for the first time in 30 years, this fan favourite will be pressed on limited edition red vinyl and available exclusively at “brick and mortar” retail stores. The set includes Mark Adams' original liner notes from the 2001 CD issue of the album.
David Bowie In Bertolt Brecht’s Baal features Bowie performing five songs that were written for German playwright Bertolt Brecht’s 1918 play “Baal.” Bowie recorded this EP with Visconti at Hansa Studios in Berlin in November 1981. Recently, all five songs were re-released as part of the exclusive Re:Call 3 compilation that accompanied the box set, A New Career In A New Town (1977-1982). This new limited edition 10” vinyl reissue comes in a six-panel sleeve that replicates the original 1982 packaging and is available exclusively at “brick and mortar” retail stores.

Well, Welcome to the Blackout available digitally was expected, and welcome. The only thing to wish for is a non-compressed version. A few more pics wouldn't hurt either.
Christiane F. - I wonder why they don't use the original (German) cover design rather than the US ("We better have a pic of David Bowie on the cover") based design? More respectful if the original cover design was retained.
Baal - the sound quality difference between the UK 7" RCA and the RCA 12" versions released elsewhere was substantial, and if these tracks are presented in best quality, this new 10" will be a worthwhile and understandable release. Wonder where the Regal Zonophone label comes from though?
BTW, does anybody know what the large Q on the German RCA 12" front cover signified?

you can all but guarantee they'll use the exact same master as Re:Call 3, so those analogue 12"s will remain superior (complete with flaw in the opening track).
regarding Regal Zonophone, wikipedia sums it up: https://en.wikipedia.org/ ... ne_Records - most relevant info: "Regal Zonophone Records was a British record label formed in 1932, through a merger of the Regal and Zonophone labels... EMI revived the Regal Zonophone imprint in 1967 to handle the Essex Music/Straight Ahead producing account that had moved from Deram (after one Procol Harum single and two singles by The Move) and continued well into the early 1970s, with successful producers Denny Cordell and Tony Visconti both having production companies releasing records through the label... Many of the label's artists moved to Fly Records or to the EMI imprint... Regal Zonophone was revived at the end of the 1990s as a reissue label curated by the UK band Saint Etienne. This incarnation of the label is no longer active, as EMI relaunched Regal and Zonophone as separate imprints of Parlophone. In 2013, both Regal and Zonophone were taken over by Warner Music Group after Universal Music Group spun off Parlophone from EMI, at the request of international regulators.

seems it was originally an Italian series of 12" EPs on RCA. i don't recall any other German 12" Bowie releases bearing the logo and there are German editions without the logo.

I got my CD. Nicely packaged.
Interesting that "TVC15" and "Sound & Vision" have different mixing credits than the rest of the set. My guess is that those two songs weren't originally part of the film, so Bowie & Dave Richards didn't mix them back in 1979; they were added back more recently. But it would have been nice to have gotten some liner notes in this set explaining how the record came to be (same mild criticism I have of CRACKED ACTOR and LIVE NASSAU 76, now that I think about it...).
