A landmark compilation spanning David Bowie's most transformative era. This collection captures the sonic innovation and theatrical reinvention that defined the early 1970s, from the haunting orchestration of "The Man Who Sold The World" through the glam-rock intensity of "Aladdin Sane" and the avant-garde textures of "White Light/White Heat." Essential tracks including "Lady Stardust," "Andy Warhol," and the introspective "Quicksand" showcase Bowie's range across glam, art rock, and experimental territory. A must-have for collectors and newcomers alike seeking a concentrated dose of Bowie's most influential material.
Recorded and mixed in November 96 at Looking Glass Studios, NYC.
Recorded for radio and broadcasted by the BBC on Bowie’s 50th birthday on January 8, 1997.
