v 17.6.2: updated the review of the rare BOWPROMO promo LP (all but one of the Bowie tracks are different from the Hunky Dory versions) and added more and better sounding clips. Thanks Matt Dornan, Maarten Kwant, Alan Morgan and Colin Young for helping me spot the differences.

v 17.6.1: added a French 'Let's Dance' promo-only 12", a Brazilian 'Jump They Say' promo-only 12" and unofficial picture discs of Diamond Dogs, Heroes and Hunky Dory; updated the entries for 'Do Anything You Say', 'Please Mr. Gravedigger' and 'Something Happens', which was exposed as a fake. Thanks go to Matt Dornan, Maarten Kwant, Glen Robins, Mark Sawyer and various members of the forum.

v 17.6: added Live Santa Monica '72, the iSelect promo given away with Mail On Sunday and a soundtrack for the NBC series Heroes. Thanks Charles Laddish!

v 17.5: I have recently switched internet provider and finally have the infrastructure to set up a forum. So if you have questions, news or want to discuss Bowie collectibles, sign up for the IdbD forum!

v 17.4.7: updated the section with in-house promo CDRs, which now has a long list of (very probable) fakes that previously were listed among the genuine titles. Added two promo CDs for David Gilmour's Remember That Night (both featuring 'Comfortably Numb'), the digital Tin Machine single downloads, as well as Adrian Belew's Dust (containing previously unreleased remixes of 'Pretty Pink Rose' and 'Gunman'), the 2-track 'Without You I'm Nothing' CD-single and the unofficial Ziggy Stardust and Low picture discs. Many thanks to Mark Adams, Allan Honey, Alan Morgan and Maarten Kwant.

v 17.4.6: only one addition that I forgot in the previous update: the longer version of 'Across The Universe' on the Special Edition of Young Americans. Thanks Arnaldo d'Urso.

v 17.4.5: added the Buddha Of Suburbia reissue, the Strangers When We Meet compilation, the David Bowie sampler for the forthcoming 'Limited Edition Boxset', the Control soundtrack, David Gilmour's Remember That Night DVD and a mention of the Pet Shop Boys' Disco 4. WARNING: currently, together with some experts, I'm in the process of evaluating the authenticity of the in-house promo CDRs. Most of them appear to fakes, so I would strongly advice to refrain from purchasing them! In the next update hopefully I will be able to present a list of genuine promos. Thanks Nigel Graham and Leo Wernaert.

v 17.4.4: updated the site with items from our Record Collector article, e.g. new information about 'Back To Where You've Never Been' and the Sinmix and The Beauty Of Color promos.

v 17.4.3: added The Record Producers - Tony Visconti, the single releases of TV On The Radio's 'Province', the 'ecopak' reissue of The Deram Anthology, a pirate edition of Reality on white vinyl and an alternate video of 'New Killer Star', featuring a demo (presumably) rather than the edited album version.

New CD-singles: an odd Mexican 'Little Wonder' sampler, the 'Perfect Day '97' two-track and promo, the German and Spanish 'I Can't Read' promos and Band Aid 20's 'Do They Know It's Christmas'. Various other additions are the original Belgian edition of Images, two Shrek 2 samplers, the Hip Hop Roots compilation and an unofficial Aladdin Sane picture disc. Latest news on the iTunes downloads, which appear also to be corrupted at other download services: Magic Dance EP and the Never Let Me Down EP have been corrected, both Time Will Crawl EPs still are corrupt! Many thanks to Maarten Kwant, who provided the bulk of the new items, and Alan Hawker.

v 17.3.9: the following EPs have problems on iTunes: Magic Dance EP, boths Time Will Crawl EPs and the Never Let Me Down EP. Most of the tracks have skips but one of the 'Magic Dance' versions even has a two-second pause. If you have already purchased one of the EPs, you can report the problematic tracks and Apple will issue 'replacement song credits'. Go to your account in iTunes and click the 'Purchase History' button. At the bottom you will find a 'Report a Problem' button which adds a link to the tracks you purchased which you can click to send a report. I have asked customer support to notify me when the tracks have been repaired and I will notify you when I get a message. Thanks Alan Hawker for bringing another problematic EP to my attention.

v 17.3.8: EMI has reissued many of the 1980s single and 12" remixes as iTunes downloads. Before you buy however: serious sound problems have been identified in the Magic Dance EP, second Time Will Crawl EP and Never Let Me Down EP, which as of June 16 have not been fixed yet.

v 17.3.2: updated the Edits project, added a cover variation of Bowie's very first 12" and improved navigation when clicking on a menu item (the selected item should not disappear underneath the top menu anymore). Thanks very much to Chris Moffett for the javascript and Maarten Mwant for the scan.
