Studio Quality 9.4 - Some variation in the quality (there are some rare nuggets here that aren't as shiny but certainly still very good) but this is all great, and there's a few live recordings mixed in so it is not completely an outtakes set.

Soundboard 9.3 to 8.8 Various sources but all pretty damn good. Hard to find much live material by this venerable Danish hard rock band. -
Audience 8.7 - Explosive guitar, slight tape hiss, and a touch on the muddy side but it RIPS so hard that all the minor flaws dissipate quickly. Rock yer socks off! -
Audience 9.2 - An incomplete show, but who's counting? Fourteen rock and roll songs by masters of this style. When you hear the songs that you are familiar with, there is an air of this being kind of less of a nostalgic performing of classics and more of a rare opportunity to hear the authentic performances of them in a small club live setting. It's charming, but serious.

Pro 9.7 - One has to wonder with all the various BBC recordings in the Bowie catalog, what do I get from having one more? My take on that is usually there is always something overlooked or that could have been better – and with this collection all I hear is sparkling perfection. Someone did their homework here.

Audience 8.9 - The capture here is as good as you could do, what you are hearing then is what the sound was like in a very literal sense. If you were sitting in tapers seats, your ears are now hearing what his ears heard at the time. That is all you can hope for and that is what this tape is.

Audience 7.8 - Clear, strong, present with just a hint of mic overload but overall very very good recording of a historic show revealing the pre-stardom Bowie testing some Ziggy tunes. -
Audience 9.0 - A great sounding tape! Very clear and good mix too. I get a good feel for the venue and the crowd, my kind of audience tape here. -
Audience 7.9 - I keep coming back to this show, mainly because I love the vibe in the hall, the crowd progressively getting more and more into it and excitement keeps building. Great stuff! -
Audience 9.0 - A very “present” recording, meaning the audio captured on this tape sounds remarkably realistic which is ideal for a live recording. Love it! -
Soundboard 9.7 - Super clean with at least a little bit of audience leaking into the stage mics to give a touch of ambience which otherwise leaves more of a one-dimensional sound. So, I like this! -
Audience 8.5-8.7 - So why the dual rating? Because it is the limitation of the recording equipment that prevents this from earning the solid 8,7 which is a great rating for a long forgotten Ziggy show. So my take on this is that during loud sections, the guitar takes a back seat in the mix while Ziggy is very prominent – which is kind of cool – but during mellower songs (of which there are a few) the mix is much better all around. All in all, this is a pretty good old tape and I don’t think it will disappoint you.
