David Bowie Shares "Sue (Or in a Season of Crime)"

David Bowie has shared “Sue (Or in a Season of Crime)”, a new song written specifically for his forthcoming retrospective Nothing has ChangedIt was recorded specifically for the compilation alongside longtime collaborator Tony Visconti and the Maria Schneider Orchestra. Listen to a radio rip from its BBC Radio 6 premiere below via Consequence of Sound.

The compilation, as well as the “Sue” limited edition 10″ and digital download, will be released in the UK via Parlophone on November 17. In the U.S., the comp and the digital version of the single will be released November 18 via Columbia/Legacy; the limited edition 10″ arrives November 28, just in time for Record Store Day’s Black Friday. Check out the tracklists for Nothing Has Changed here

The different editions of the comp come with covers that are three variants on the same theme: Bowie looking into a mirror.

Also, all three tracklists follow a different order—the 3xCD edition in reverse chronological order, the 2xCD edition in chronological order, and the double LP jumps around a bit. Designer Jonathan Barnbrook explains in a statement:

“A different image appears on each use. The linking theme is Bowie looking in the mirror. Something which was a strong enough ‘archetype’ to provide an immediately identifiable visual link but make it clear this was a collection of songs through the experience of one person’s life, not necessarily a specific concept or period of time as albums tend to be.”
