Yes, folks, it’s that time of the day when I have run out of any ideas whatsoever. Not unlike David Bowie who does what he has been doing (for the most part ) for year after year after year: recycling his old music. How much money is enough for these guys? Do these guys plan to keep rereleasing the same stuff over and over again forever?
And here Bowie comes again, this is the Press release taken directly from Gigwise, my one stop shopping for cut and paste.
What do I think? I think this is well past the pale but, much like Morrissey and Taylor swift, it has nothing to do with me.
“David Bowie has confirmed details of a brand new box set release celebrating his early career. It’s beautiful – check it out above.
In what is said to be the first of many career-spanning box sets for the Thin White Duke, Five Years 1969–1973 is due to drop on 25 September – and is made up of a 12 CD or 13 LP collection of all music recorded during this era – with six remastered albums, two live albums, plus a compilation of rare recordings.
The six remastered albums will be David Bowie AKA Space Oddity, The Man Who Sold the World, Hunky Dory, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars, Aladdin Sane, and PinUps – while it will also feature the iconic live albums Live Santa Monica ’72 and Ziggy Stardust: The Motion Picture Soundtrack“
