David Bowie – A New Career In A New Town – 11 CD Parlophone/Rhino – 29-09-2017
E tre! Non solo perché si tratta del terzo cofanetto dedicato alla ristampa dell’opera discografica di David Bowie, ma anche perché pure questo box verrà pubblicato il giorno 29 settembre, come il Live di David Gilmour e il box dei Perntangle.
Questo terzo capitolo della trilogia, fino ad ora, bowiana, prende lo spunto dal periodo tedesco di Boiwe, che ha regalato ai fans i tre dischi registrati e/o concepiti in quel di Berlino (anche se poi solo Heroes venne registrato interamente in quella città, mentre Low solo in parte, e Scary Monsters per nulla. Nel cofanetto poi troviamo anche due differenti versioni del disco dal vivo Stage, nonché Scary Monsters, e il terzo disco della serie Re:Call che raccoglie, come dicono quelli che parlano bene, non-album singles, single versions and b-sides assortite.
A seguire trovate tutto il contenuto dettagliato del box che, al solito, non sarà per nulla economico, ma che i fans dovranno considerare in virtù della cospicua presenza di materiale raro od inedito, oltre ad un libro rilegato di 128 pagine. Prima i singoli album, con l’indicazione di quelli in esclusiva per il cofanetto, e poi tutti brani suddivisi negli 11 CD.
