Because of the "old vinyl fold-out album" cover of Visions And Sounds, artwork for Paris Au Printemps are included as well because it's the same recording, and easier covers to print.

The second release of this Sound and Vision era bootleg, recorded in Paris, at the Palais Omnisports on the 3rd of April, 1990. It was supposed to be the last time Bowie ever played all the 'old' classics but since then he has thankfully gone back on his word. The original release with the same name came out in 1990 and originated via Japan and was frightfully costly, maybe because the bootleggers realised this would be the one of the last boots with the classic numbers on… or so they thought.

This 1991 re-release is numbered differently, and has lower budget disk art although the recorded content is the same; very good just with a slightly 'echo' feel to it. While the version of Heroes is one of the best I've heard because it's passionate and powerful (unlike the modern live version), Ziggy Stardust is notably one of the worst live variations I've heard with far too much emphasis keyboards. Dahlings! We're back!

There are a couple of better recording from this period which I would suggest perusing, although this is very good in fairness!

David Bowie Tour band 1990 – Sound+Vision Tour
Bowie specifically chose a smaller band for the tour, saying in a contemporary interview that "It's a much smaller sound. It's not quite as orchestrated as any of the other tours. The plus of that is that there is a certain kind of drive and tightness that you get with that embryonic line-up, where everybody is totally reliant on the other two or three guys, so everybody gives a lot more”
