First pressings of this live compilation (around 250 000 copies) got a mispressed CD2.
Instead of containing two versions of Ziggy Stardust, recorded 18.1.72 (A. 3:22) then 16.5.72 (B. 3:24), it has twice the same Ziggy Stardust, recorded 16.5.72 (B′. 3:26 then B. 3:24 with same content).
An update CD and a digital update, containing the missing Ziggy Stardust, recorded 18.1.72 (A.) (BEEBREP 2) were issued but are now nearly impossible to find, they don’t send it and you cannot contact them any more.

The ISRC were however rightly dispersed on tracks (so linked to the wrong sound on first Ziggy Stardust track), only the sound is wrong (duplicated).
For the sake of clarity, the second track’s ISRC was removed from the first track’s MB recording.

Please ear check which release you have to select the correct release and/or to go on fixing those which still don’t have a « CD2 mispressing / fixed CD2 pressing » comment.
