Rare Bowie LPs coming next month

Three just-announced new David Bowie releases are due to come out in the US on April 21, which is observed as Record Store Day.

“Welcome to the Blackout” (Live London '78), the 3XLP set featuring recordings from two London shows on Bowie's ambitious “Isolar II” tour from 1978, seems like the main attraction, according to Billboard.  There's also the “Let's Dance 12″ featuring the iconic '80s single's early demo version and a live rendition, and the first official release of the promo-only 1977 compilation “Bowie Now”.

A day prior to RSD (April 20), Parlophone will also release a limited-edition 45th anniversary reissue of 1973's “Aladdin Sane” on silver vinyl. Just prior to that, on April 13, a “CHANGESTWOBOWIE” reissue is due out. The label also re-released the entirety of Bowie's “Berlin trilogy” (“Low”, “Heroes”, and “Lodger”) on February 23.
