David Bowie - BBC Sessions, Volume 13: 2002-2003

Here's yet another album of David Bowie performing for the BBC. Unlike most others from around this time period, this one is a collection of BBC studio sessions. It so happens all of them were broadcast on TV instead of on the radio.

Everything here is officially unreleased, at least as far as I can tell. The first three songs are from the popular "Top of the Pops" TV show. Most appearances on that show are lip-synced, but these versions are included because they were actually done live. The next four songs are from another BBC TV show, "Friday Night with Jonathan Ross."

The eighth song is from the BBC TV show "Parkinson." The next three, tracks 9 to 11, are from yet another BBC TV show, "Later... with Jools Holland."

Everything I've mentioned so far is from 2002. But the last two tracks are from 2003, a second appearance on the TV show "Friday Night with Jonathan Ross."

Generally speaking, the songs sound really good. But there was a lot of cheering on most of them. So I ran all the songs through the MVSEP audio editing program and removed the crowd noise.

This album is 54 minutes long.
