David Bowie Readies Five Years 1969–1973 Box Set
David Bowie is about to release a series of box sets that span his entire career. First up is Five Years 1969–1973, which is out September 25 via Parlophone. The box—12 CDs or 13 LPs—includes six remastered studio albums, two live albums, and a compilation called Re:Call 1. Re:Call features non-album tracks and previously unreleased material from that period. Find the comp’s tracklist below.
The six newly remastered albums include 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. The live albums are Live Santa Monica ’72 and Ziggy Stardust: The Motion Picture Soundtrack. It also includes the 2003 stereo mix of Rise and Fall.
The box also comes with a book featuring rarely seen photos and technical notes about each album. There’s also a foreword by the Kinks’ Ray Davies. Both Re:Call 1 and the 2003 Ziggy mix feature new artwork featuring archival photographs.
