Don't do this please

Oh

Oh man.

what else did we think would happen

Something tells me I'm going to listen to this once and then pretend like it never existed

My question is: who’s idea is this and why.

he's not your fucking Toy

lost for a reason probably. still gonna hold on hope and pirate when it comes out so that Warner Music won't get my money.

jesus christ have you seen the cover art?

it’s almost october, only fitting we dig up some graves

“ Visconti later said Bowie was “hurt terribly” by the label’s refusal to release Toy, which led to his departure from the label.”

No problem releasing it now that he’s dead though huh?

cover rocks

this was probably buried for a reason

this was mostly released with the Heathen singles and the rest leaked around 2011 so it's really not a big deal lol, they're not Frankensteining an album out of scraps like he's Hendrix here

Look at how they massacred my boy

Big nope.

I'll just ignore this and listen to blackstar

the cover tho bruh look at that shit

ok y'all die on whatever hills you want but this album is genuinely pretty good (and again: something he completed in 2001 and the label never released, not some nefarious thrown together scrap)

the rerecorded Conversation Piece and Your Turn to Drive are some of the best of his 2000s output

the og cover for this is atrocious lmao

I swear to God, that is the most hilarious cover art I've seen in a LONG time lol

yeah let's take what's likely the most monumental final album in music history and cheapen it

[2] to everything Rowan said.

Nearly all of this has been available in some capacity for at least a decade. Looks like they are just trying to release these recordings in a more organized/accessible manner.

Did bowie actually create that cover because if not that's lame and almost-slander-ish

"Lost"

Silly Boy blue is from his debut

I Dig Everything, You’ve Got A Habit Of Leaving, and Liza Jane were all early singles...

This is just milking a corpse

they're re-recorded versions from 2001 that are radically different. almost new songs

on top of that, a quarter of these songs were made available around the time Heathen was released
