Brilliant Live Adventures [1995-1999]

WOW! How can anyone say: "As someone who struggled like crazy to grab all six of these, it's really nice to see that they are going to re-release them so more fans can hear these albums." Really nice? The "Brilliant Live Adventure", better called The "biggest collector's joke" was probably the biggest scam of collectors that I have ever experienced. From a broken site, when trying to order, to canceled orders, to an empty "collectors" box that you had to pay extra for. Sometimes the LP was only available with an overpriced hoodie or shirt, when you were too late in the queue. To top it off, after a while it was announced, that in order to do the fans a favor, the limitation would be lifted and as many re-presses as could be sold. What a lie. It was all about making even more profit from the product. If you want everyone to be able to buy something, then you don't limit it. If you see that something is in greater demand than expected, you publish it again in a different form. But deceiving thousands of buyers is really bad. But it didn't seem to bother anyone. Only troublemakers like me. And it really pi**ed me off, especially because I had to pay horrendous shipping fees for each part.

I have the two 1995 ones. No Trendy Réchauffé sounds so much better than Ouvrez Le Chien, both in the performance and the recording and mix.

But what the hell is up with the album cover art? They all look like fan art. Bowie was such a master of his image, including the design of his album packaging. Perhaps the intent here is to look like bootlegs, but I'm shocked how bad the art is.

Re-releases of all the CDs and LPs in the Brilliant Live Adventures set are now available from the Bowie store and Rhino.

As someone who struggled like crazy to grab all six of these, it's really nice to see that they are going to re-release them so more fans can hear these albums.

The sound quality on all of them is awesome. I've listened twice all the way through all six albums, and I can vouch for the pressing quality being wonderful. I highly recommend any Bowie fan pick these up. There are some incredible live versions of some of his best songs!

We are aware that a number of fans have had a poor shopping experience during the ‘Brilliant Live Adventures’ campaign, and for that we are very sorry. We also recognise that, due to the unexpected demand, unfortunately many of you have been unable to purchase certain titles and subsequently missed out on the opportunity to complete their collection.

In the coming weeks we will provide you with further details of how and when we will be making these titles available to you again.

Once again, we apologise and thank you for your patience and continued .

mmm. received a mail from bowie.com. Not that limited after all. They going to reprint it.

I have a spare unopened Something in the Air vinyl and looking to trade for a vinyl copy of the kit kat club. I am in Australia.

Given that everything in this "set" is/was sold separately, should the LP/CD boxes be added as releases here?

Has anyone in the UK got a vinyl copy of Ouvrez Le Chien for sale please?

Looking for the BLA 5 Something un the air release from a seller in the European Union (No UK, USA,... the Custom Taxes are to high).
No golddiggers. Thanks
