CD DetailsSynopsis
Album Description Out of print in the U.S. Taking Changesbowie one step further, Singles collects all of the Thin White Duke's biggest hits from 'Space Oddity' to 'Day-In Day-Out' and features overlooked gems like 'Drive-In Saturday', 'TVC 15', 'Beauty & The Beast' and others. Always five steps of everyone else, each of Bowie's releases pre-dated musical movements, often by years. For the average musician, this would have been a case of 'wrong place, wrong time' but in Bowie's case, he was always the leader and never the follower. It just took everyone else awhile to catch up to what he was doing. 37 tracks in all. EMI. Similar CDs

This is not America (featuring Pat Methany) 16. Dancing in the streets (featuring Mick Jagger) 17. Absolute beginners 18. Day-in Day-out Fantastic overview of the thin white duke's career chronologically arranged, so one can observe his development and various experiments over the years. It features my all time favourite Bowie song, the dramatic, epic ballad `Wild is the wind'. I hunted high and low for an extensive Bowie collection with this song and this is the one. Also featured are vital non album tracks like `Absolute beginners' (from the movie of the same name), `Alabama song', `Dancing in the streets', `Under pressure' (on which Vanilla Ice's career was based), and the beautiful `This is not America'. I became a Bowie fan in 83 when I heard the Nile Rodgers produced razor sharp dance/rocker `Let's dance' and have been ever since. Other standouts are the rocky, catchy `Rebel rebel', `Golden years' (covered by UK R&B group Loose Ends), the funky 'Sound & vision', 'Heroes' (covered so many times by many artistes), `Young Americans', the gender bending `John, I'm only dancing' (hello Franz Ferdinand!!), `Starman', and `Ashes to ashes'. To me, Bowie has always sounded different form other rockers; his vocal delivery is measured and precise, rather like a crooner's, coupled with its changes from relaxed to booming. Add to this his experimentation with various sounds and effects. An excellent collection!!! " Access David Bowie, start here ! Bigfootchandler | Rhode Island | 08/20/2005 (4 out of 5 stars) "Yes I hate to admit it I'm generally a hits person...so this is ideal...However for an artist as groundbreaking as Bowie...no matter what space oddity you subscribe to Sorry couldn't help myself, You'll have to check out his other work sooner or later... Ground control ...are you there ! " Great album Mrs. Deborah Rush | UK | 09/12/2009 (5 out of 5 stars) "Brilliant singles collection from bowie. All my faves plus a few more I didnt know about but glad I have them now."
