David Bowie’s "Berlin trilogy" and other projects from the late 1970s are featured in the forthcoming 11-disc box set, “A New Career In A New Town (1977-1982).”
Due September 29, the project focuses on Bowie’s three collaborations with musician Brian Eno and producer Tony Visconti – 1977’s “Low”, “Heroes”, and 1979’s “Lodger” – following the singer’s move to West Berlin in late 1976.
The package delivers remastered editions of the three records alongside the “Heroes E.P.” – which features German and French versions of the title song – a 2017 Tony Visconti mix of “Lodger”, the 1978 live album “Stage” and a 2017 version with two unreleased live tracks ("Jean Genie," "Suffragette City"), and 1980’s “Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps).”
The box also includes “Re:Call 3”, a compilation of singles, non-album singles, b-sides and soundtrack material alongside Bowie’s recording of the German modernist playwright Bertolt Brecht's “Baal.”
“A New Career In A New Town (1977-1982)” will be available as an 11-CD, 13-LP and digital release.
Fans who pre-order the box set will receive an instant download of the rare "Beauty And The Beast (Extended Version)," found on "Re:Call 3", which can be heard below.
“A New Career In A New Town (1977-1982)” follows 2015's “Five Years 1969–1973” and 2016's “Who Can I Be Now? (1974–1976)” as the third in a series of packages spanning Bowie’s catalog.
Bowie passed away from liver cancer on January 10, 2016 at the age of 69.
