Rare and Unreleased David Bowie Albums Announced

Record Store Day celebrates its 10-year anniversary this year on April 22. To celebrate the occasion, Parlophone is releasing two limited-edition David Bowie albums. The first is Cracked Actor (Live in Los Angeles 1974), a live album recorded during the Philly Dogs Tour that is seeing its first-ever official release. It was mixed by longtime Bowie collaborator Tony Visconti, and features a band lineup that includes Luther Vandross on vocals. The other album being released for RSD is Bowpromo, a recreation of a rare 1971 pressing that featured alternate mixes of songs that eventually wound up on Hunky Dory. Check out the tracklists for both releases below, and take a look at what the vinyl releases will look like here.
