Disc 1 deserves 3 1/2 stars but Disc 2 deserves 5+stars!

This is certainly an interesting collection of songs! I can't say I love DISC 1 in general, but there are some nice surprises. "Kooks" is a lovely little song! The band playing with Bowie is quite good in "The Width Of A Circle" and "Unwashed And Somewhat Slightly Dazed." I heavily prefer Disc 2 because I have loved the "Ziggy Stardust" material for many years. The familiar songs sound different but as enjoyable as the released versions. Bowie was great at reworking good songs into even better songs, which is quite apparent on "I'm Waiting For The Man" and "White Light/White Heat." I can't say enough positive things about Disc 2 other than "Freak out, in a Moonage Daydream! Oh yeah!"

I Love both disks!!!!!!!!!!

This is a great package of early bowie material it is a must have to any bowie fan!

The Ziggy stuff really rocks!

Disc 2 really kooks (!) This is rock'n'roll at it's best. Mick Ronson's guitar shines through the way it never did on the Ziggy Stardust studio album. Check out Hang On To Yourself. But disc 1 isn't bad. It kind of grows on me. I feel I'm ready to check out Bowie's earlier catalog. I consider myself a Bowie fan although not a hardcore one. The albums Hunky Dory and Scary Monsters are some of my all time favourites. I will now add Bowie At The Beeb to that list.
