Record Store Day is looking to be pretty special this year. For the 10th anniversary of every music nerd's favorite holiday (on April 22, to be exact) two rare, previously unreleased David Bowie albums will go on sale. Might as well get in line now.
One is a live album from the Philly Dogs Tour, according to Pitchfork, called Cracked Actor (Live in Los Angeles 1974). It features Luther Vandross on vocals, and it was mixed by Tony Visconti, who had his hand in producing some of Bowie's best tracks (including "Heroes").
The other record is Bowpromo, which is essentially alternate mixes of songs from Hunky Dory. The record was initially pressed in a limited run in 1971.
