DAVID BOWIE IS IT ANY WONDER? – STREAMING EP OF UNRELEASED & RARE MATERIAL

‘THE MAN WHO SOLD THE WORLD’ (CHANGESNOWBOWIE VERSION) FIRST OF SIX TRACKS TO BE RELEASED OVER SIX WEEKS

CHANGESNOWBOWIE LIMITED EDITION NINE TRACK LP/CD OF PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED MATERIAL TO BE ISSUED FOR RECORD STORE DAY 18th APRIL, 2020

8th January 2020 London

Parlophone Records is proud to announce DAVID BOWIE IS IT ANY WONDER? a six track EP of unreleased and rare tracks to be released over six weeks.

The first of these is a previously unreleased version of ‘The Man Who Sold The World’, released today as a streaming-only 1 track digital single in celebration of both David’s birthday and the 50th anniversary of the writing and recording of this classic. Five more songs will be released on a weekly basis from 17th January.

’THE MAN WHO SOLD THE WORLD’ (CHANGESNOWBOWIE VERSION) is taken from the 9-track session ChangesNowBowie, recorded for radio and broadcast by the BBC on David’s 50th birthday on 8th January, 1997.

The broadcast featured an interview with David by Mary Anne Hobbs interspersed with specially recorded birthday messages and questions from the likes of Scott Walker, Damon Albarn, Bono, Robert Smith and many more.

This mostly acoustic session was a stripped back affair featuring some of David’s favourites of his own compositions and was produced by Bowie himself, Reeves Gabrels and Mark Plati.

CHANGESNOWBOWIE was recorded and mixed at Looking Glass Studios in New York in November 1996 during rehearsals for David’s 50th birthday concert at Madison Square Garden. Gail Ann Dorsey (bass, vocals), Reeves Gabrels (guitars) and Mark Plati (keyboards and programming) accompanied David on the recording.

 CHANGESNOWBOWIE will be released in limited quantities on LP and CD for Record Store Day on 18th April, 2020. The cover art for the album will features a portrait of David by renowned photographer Albert Watson, taken in New York in 1996. (See montage for cover)

More details about the album will be announced shortly.

'I CAN'T READ '97', der zweite Song von der DAVID BOWIE'S IS IT ANY WONDER? EP.

I CAN'T READ erschien ursprünglich 1989 auf dem Debütalbum von Tin Machine und war eine feste Größe im Live-Set der Band. Im Herbst 1996, während der Mixing-Phase für Earthling nahm David den Track neu auf - und sollte auf einer gemasterten Version des Albums erscheinen. Diese zweite Version des Songs (diese erhältliche Version) wurde in letzter Minute durch 'The Last Thing You Should Do' ersetzt.

Gibt es die is it any wonder auch als vinyl/cd?

Lass mal ich habs auch noch nicht verstanden. Was ist denn nun der Unterschied zwischen "CHANGESNOWBOWIE" und der EP "S IT ANY WONDER?" ?

Die sechs Track EP gibt's nur als Stream (und/oder als Audio Youtube-Datei).
