In 2015 David Bowie announced plans to release a series of expansive boxsets, each celebrating various Bowie eras. The first in the series, Five Years (1969 - 1973) was released in 2015 and was followed by the second installment Who Can I Be Now (1974 - 1976) last year. Today the third boxset in the series A New Career In A New Town (1977 - 1982) was announced and is scheduled to arrive September 29th.
David Bowie - A New Career In A New Town (1977 - 1982) focuses on the critically acclaimed Berlin Trilogy recordings (Low, "Heroes", & Lodger) along with two versions of Stage (original and 2017 editions), 1980's Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps), plus the new compilation Re:Call 3. In addition to the remastered edition of Lodger, a newly remixed edition of the album -- Tony Visconti 2017 Mix -- is also presented here for the first time. Though Bowie wouldn't live to hear the final remixed edition, he greenlit Visconti's vision of remixing Lodger in full before his death in 2016.
Like the previous two boxsets, A New Career In A New Town (1977 - 1982) will be released physically on LP and CD formats. Both editions include identical material, although the song order on Re:Call 3 differs slightly. Both formats also come with a book filled with commentary by Tony Visconti, archival press reviews, rare and previously unseen/unpublished photos shot by Anton Corbijn, Helmut Newton, Andrew Kent, and much more.
David Bowie A New Career In A New Town (1977 - 1982) is available to pre-order now on CD, LP, and digital formats. View all the options here.
