How We Pack

Your order will always be packed in a top-of-line box specifically designed to ship vinyl records—made from high quality cardboard built to prevent seam splits & corner bends.

Everything inside your shipment will be bubble wrapped for added bump & drop protection, with as much extra filler material needed for a snug, safe ride to you.

As an additional free service, your records can be opened to have their discs shipped behind the jacket to prevent seam splits. Just tick the box below the add to bag button.

Description

Originally released in the UK on 15th February, 1980 'Alabama Song' was initially written as a poem by Bertolt Brecht in 1925 and was put to music by Kurt Weill for the 1927 play Little Mahogany. David Bowie was a longstanding Brecht fan and included the song in the setlist for his 1978 Isolar II tour. The studio version of 'Alabama Song' on the A-side of this release was recorded on July 2nd 1978, the day after the final show of the European leg of the tour, at Tony Visconti's Good Earth Studios in Soho, London. The AA-Side features two previously unreleased tracks; A rendition of Heroes track 'Joe The Lion' recorded at the soundcheck of the tour's final Earls Court show on the 1st July 1978. Though rehearsed for the Isolar II tour 'Joe The Lion' would not make it's live debut until the Serious Moonlight tour of 1983. The second track on the AA-side is a live version of 'Alabama Song' also recorded July 1st 1978-a different performance than the one featured on the live album Welcome To The Blackout.
