A collection of David Bowie’s biggest singles will be featured on “Legacy”, a new compilation due November 11.
The set presents Bowie’s first hit, 1969’s “Space Oddity”, through to his final 2016 singles “Lazarus” and “I Can’t Give Everything Away”, and includes a previously unreleased version of the classic 1971 single, “Life On Mars?”, mixed by its original producer Ken Scott.
Single mixes and radio edits of several Bowie classics are featured, including “Starman”, “The Jean Genie”, “Young Americans,” “Ashes To Ashes”, “Let’s Dance”, “China Girl” and “Modern Love.”
Collaborations with Queen, Mick Jagger, The Pet Shop Boys and The Pat Metheny Group are also included.
“Legacy” will be available as a 1 CD and a Deluxe 2 CD package, with a double vinyl album version due on January 6, 2017.
Born David Jones in London in 1947, the singer issued his first single at the age of 17 and changed his last name to Bowie in 1966 – to avoid confusion with Davey Jones of The Monkees – ahead of the release of his self-titled debut album a year later.
The 1969 single, “Space Oddity”, put Bowie on the map and led to the beginnings of a groundbreaking catalogue that saw the singer push the creative envelope while exploring various genres as a musical chameleon.
The music icon sold an estimated 140 million albums worldwide and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996.
Bowie passed away on January 10, just two days after his 69th birthday and the release of his final album, “Blackstar.”
