A special edition of David Bowie‘s ‘Ready, Set, Go!’ live album will be released for this year’s Record Story Day.
‘Ready, Set, Go! (Live, Riverside Studios ’03)’ is set for release via Parlophone Records on April 12. The limited edition double vinyl LP and CD will be in collaboration with Record Store Day 2025. The album is a live recording of Bowie’s September 8, 2003 interactive satellite event which took place at Riverside Studios in Hammersmith, London.
