For example the extended version of “It’s Only Love” and the unique edit of “What’d I Say” are among the gems that make this album unique.

From the press-release:
The Diamond Anniversary goes back to 1976. “Holding Back The Years”. was the third CD release and it is about time it became available on vinyl. The first three titles “Here I Go Again”, “Old Times They Are Not Forgotten” and “Let Me Take You Home” were a complete sell out and were well received by vinyl freaks. 

Now "Holding Back The Years" is available on this deluxe double vinyl album. It contains the March 21, 1976 performance. And it's a beauty! And of course the show is included on cd too. The show is remastered and updated in the best way possible! This release is very limited and is available in red or blue vinyl presented in a gatefold sleeve. Get it while you can and add this awesome DAE product to your collection.
