DAVID BOWIE NEWS: FAN’S UNITE!

 If the sci-fi genre had an official soundtrack, it would be 90% David Bowie, and 5% John Williams (the other 5% being a mishmash of random songs we all recognize by don’t really know who wrote). So, with his new album, ‘The Next Day’, coming out today, it seems like it’s time again to celebrate Bowie’s contributions to sci-fi. After all, just how many music artists can you really say that about?

Two limited-edition David Bowie releases coming!

Rare photographs and artwork will also be included…

Two limited-edition David Bowie albums are to be released to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Record Store Day.

Live album Cracked Actor and a facsimile of a Hunky Dory promotion record will be made available in April, as well as rare photographs and original Bowie prints.

Cracked Actor, recorded during the late music superstar’s Philly Dogs Tour show at the Universal Amphitheatre in Los Angeles in 1974, will be released as a triple vinyl five-sided album with the sixth side featuring an etching of Bowie’s logo at the time.

The tapes from the live show were mixed last year by the Brixton-born singer’s long-time collaborator, Tony Visconti.

Some of Bowie’s best-loved anthems are included in the album, including Suffragette City, Changes and Space Oddity. The record also features unseen photos from the gig as well as newly-commissioned artwork.
