Bowie to release compilation 2008-09-04 by DaveyBoy EMERITUS | 7 Comments | [Source: NME.com]
David Bowie has announced that he will release a compilation of his own favourite tracks, which he hand-selected earlier this year. Virgin/EMI will release it widely on Tuesday 14 October.
Rather than a greatest-hits compilation, it features 12 tracks spanning Bowie’s career, which he said he “never seems to tire of”, as well as two tracks exclusive to this CD.
The collection also includes Bowie’s notes about the songs. Speaking about “Lady Grinning Soul”, he said, “It was written for a wonderful young girl whom I’ve not seen for more than 30 years. When I hear this song she’s still in her 20s, of course. A song will put you tantalizingly close to the past, so close that you can almost reach out and touch it. The sound of ghosts again.”
The compilation also features tracks that he re-recorded or remixed for this collection.
The album tracklisting is:
“Life On Mars?”
“Sweet Thing/Candidate/Sweet Thing”
“The Bewlay Brothers”
“Lady Grinning Soul”
“Win”
“Some Are”
“Teenage Wildlife”
“Repetition”
“Fantastic Voyage”
“Loving The Alien”
“Time Will Crawl”
“Hang On To Yourself”

I hope he comes out and says that "Lady Grinning Soul" is about Jennifer Connelly a little bit grown up from Labyrinth. What a fucking creeper.

Dude, there's nothing wrong with writing a song about Jennifer Connelly...
| | |
I cannot argue with that.

Omg, remixed/remastered versions of all these songs will fucking own!
Bowie is god.
