David Bowie announced plans for a new series of boxsets to celebrate his distinguished career. The first in the series, Five Years 1969 - 1973, focuses on Bowie's early years and collects all of the material officially released by Bowie during that period of his career. The set will be released as a 10 LP/12 CD box, a 10LP/13 piece vinyl set, and as a digital download on September 25th.
Five Years 1969 - 1973 includes 6 original studio albums, 2 live albums, the Ken Scott 2003 mix of the Rise & Fall Of Ziggy Stardust & the Spiders From Mars, and a new 2 disc collection titled Re:Call 1 which collects non-album singles, single versions, b-sides and more. A book containing rare photos, technical notes, press reviews from the archive, and a foreward written by Ray Davies of the Kinks is also included.
The CD version of the set contains mini-vinyl versions of the original albums on gold colored CDs; the vinyl version contains the same material as the CD set pressed onto 180 gram heavyweight vinyl.
Pre-order the CD version of the set here, and the LP version here. Fans who pre-order from Bowie's official store will receive a free copy of the David Bowie Pinups Radio Show on CD or 10" vinyl.
