DAVID BOWIE - READY, SET, GO! (LIVE, RIVERSIDE STUDIOS ’03)
LIMITED 14-TRACK VINYL DOUBLE ALBUM & CD
RELEASED BY PARLOPHONE EXCLUSIVELY FOR RECORD STORE DAY 12th APRIL 2025
Parlophone Records is proud to announce the release of a very special David Bowie limited double vinyl LP and CD READY, SET, GO! (LIVE, RIVERSIDE STUDIOS' 03) which will be released on 12th April , 2024, for Record Store Day.
On 8th September, 2003, David Bowie made history at Riverside Studios in Hammersmith, London, with the biggest ever live and interactive music satellite event the world had seen to that point. The special one-off live concert was beamed simultaneously to fans in 86 cinemas in 26 countries, from Hong Kong to Helsinki, and 14 screens in Paris alone were dedicated to the show.
Bowie and his band unveiled the first-ever live performance of his new album REALITY, released a week later. Now, for the first time, the eleven-song main set, the REALITY album in its entirety, plus three previously unreleased tracks from the encore, will be available on double vinyl and single CD exclusively for Record Store Day 2025.
The event marked many firsts in technological terms; it was the biggest ever non-TV satellite broadcast, the first ever interactive cinema event via a Q&A element hosted by Bowie fan and broadcaster Jonathan Ross and the first live satellite event in 5.1 DTS surround sound, which was overseen by longtime collaborator, Tony Visconti.
The precedent-setting event also went live across Asia a day later with a live Q&A between David and fans in Japan, Australia, Singapore, and Southeast Asia. The event was also beamed to North and South America, and Canada the day the album was released, with David doing brand new live Q&A sessions for those broadcasts.
