This is the first release in the BOWSTAT series that is being posted at Bowie Station (http://www.bowiestation.com/). This is the 16 bit remaster version. A 24 bit remaster and a 24 bit RAW version is also available.

There are so far 15 releases in the series, and a few more planned in the coming week.

The aim with the series is to provide upgrades to previously circulating versions of the concerts. Our source for the recordings is a very generous collector who wants to remain anonymous.

I will be posting a few more of the 16 bit remasters/matrices here at Dime in the coming days.

RIP David Bowie.

This tape was donated to BowieStation by a private collector.
A lot of thanks to him for offering his tapes.

It is incomplete and Station to Station, Suffragette City and Fame are missing, but the sound quality is definitively an upgrade from previous version.

BOWSTAT001-24RM - 24-bit remaster (24-48)
BOWSTAT001-24RAW - 24-bit raw (24-96)
