An extremely rare 1988 BBC Transcription Disc 3 LP set, comprising the David Bowie program “Bowie at the Beeb” and Marc Bolan/T.Rex program “Bolan at the Beeb.” Each disc has a segment of the Bowie program on one side and the Bolan program on the other. The programs each run nearly an hour, and are filled with unreleased live gems and interview segments recorded for various BBC radio programs from 1967 through 1972.

These are authentic BBC-produced ultra high quality discs, made in extremely limited quantities–perhaps only 50 sets–and sent to UK and Commonwealth radio stations, which generally played them only once.

The Bowie program includes rare versions of songs that Bowie never released, including ‘White Light White Heat’, ‘Bombers’, ‘Looking For a Friend’ and ‘Almost Grown’; as well as live and live-in-studio versions of Love You Till Tuesday/In The Heat Of The Morning/Let Me Sleep Beside You/Wild Eyed Boy From Freecloud/Kooks/The Supermen/Ziggy Stardust/Five Years/Starman/Rock and Roll Suicide.

The Bolan show includes Tyrannosaurus Rex and T.Rex tracks including Misty Coasts of Albany/Pavilions of War/Deborah/Dove/By The Light of the Magical Moon/Ride The White Swan/Hot Love/Get It On/Life’s A Gas/Cadillac/Sailors of the Highway (unreleased)/Christmas Jingle (unreleased)/ and the commercial version of Metal Guru.

Also included are Bowie and Bolan interview segments from the original 60’s and 70’s broadcasts.
