STAGE is a double live album by DAVID BOWIE that was originally released in 1978. It was one of the first Bowie albums i bought in 1983 when i became a massive fan after i had bought the Let's Dance album, and in that way it introduced me to the variety of his back-catalogue at the time. Side A/B almost chronologically covers the first 6 years of the 70's, and side C/D has songs from Low and Heroes. The album captures live performances from a few USA shows of his Isolar II World Tour (1978) and is pretty polished, in that there's little crowd to be heard in these recordings. Also the running order of the setlists was changed, and there are fades between the songs. So it sounds a bit sterile for a live album. Like said, i bought my copy in 1983, and that's the one pictured below here on black vinyl:
The yellow version as showed on top is a copy i bought second-hand somewhere a few years ago. It is a limited edition of the first UK pressing from 1978. In Holland the album also has come out on blue vinyl at the time.
