All Music Guide Review:
Review by Dave Thompson
After a couple of false starts earlier in the decade, a full-scale roundup of David Bowie's late-'60s/early-'70s sessions for the BBC finally emerged, to both thrill and disappoint the army of collectors who'd been waiting impatiently for its arrival. The thrill was delivered by the one-stop ability to pick up material that had hitherto been available only spread across a plethora of bootlegs and unauthorized releases, laboring beneath a host of misdirected sleeve notes and attributions. Radically more exciting takes of most of the Ziggy Stardust album are included here, together with swathes of the albums that came before it, and a pair of Velvet Underground covers that have never seen release in any other forum: "Waiting for the Man" and "White Light/White Heat." For those reasons alone, BBC Sessions ranks among the most important and enjoyable Bowie archival releases ever. The disappointment, meanwhile, lies in the fact that the sessions are spread across just two of the collection's three discs, meaning that a host of further performances are sacrificed. Several of these simply repeat songs performed elsewhere, of course, but there are a number of unique renditions that, again, the bootleg world long ago got its hands on. In their stead, listeners receive a bonus disc recounting what was then Bowie's most recent BBC performance, an hourlong excerpt from a June 2000 concert that brought the story up to date with some of his most impassioned performances since, indeed, the golden age spread across the first pair of discs. One point for completist collectors: early pressings of the U.K. disc inadvertently included two identical performances of "Ziggy Stardust," from January 1972, instead of an additional version taped in May. Rushing to correct the error, a one-song CD of the missing song was produced for any purchaser who asked for one; subsequent pressings restored the intended track.
