The Singles Collection - The Album

4.54 out of 5 (39 votes)

This is the European version of the US Bowie: The Singles, which features a few different selections and play order.
The Australian release features exactly the same song set, but was released as two separate discs, namely The Singles Collection 1, and The Singles Collection 2. Thanks Mattie.

Thanks to Dave Priest, who sent me the correct song times. Note that some of these songs are definitely not the single versions :-)
