Release Details

Released by RykoDisc 1989.

Trivia

• Disc Four
  1. The original 1989 release includes a CDV 5" disc with three live versions from 1972 along with a video of Ashes To Ashes. A CDV is a 5" laserdisc playable in so-called "combi players" (laserdisc/CD players) (Ed: and also some computers such as the Amiga 500?). It is not playable in standard CD-ROMs or DVD drives available today.
  2. A subsequent rerelease in the mid 90s changed the CDV to a standard CDROM, playable in most computers today.
  3. Yet another rerelease in the late 90s removed the fourth bonus disc completely and just bundled the three CDs in a simple cardboard box.
• A "retrospective look" at Bowie's career, produced in a boxed set (by Rykodisc in the US). The design/packaging and production won many plaudits from critics (including a Grammy in 1989), and is recognised as one of the premier collections of Bowie songs (in particular because it steers away from being just a "greatest hits" collection).
• An extremely rare version of the boxed set came in a wooden box (only 350 sets were made). Each came with a letter signed and numbered by Bowie and were sold mail order by Ryko for about $300 each. They are now (1997) valued at about $700-$1000. (Info from Justin Price).
