David Bowie’s fourth box set ‘Loving The Alien’, spanning 1983 to 1988, will be released on September 7.
‘Loving The Alien’ will include remastered editions of the albums ‘Let’s Dance’, ‘Tonight’ and ‘Never Let Me Down’ as well as the previously unreleased live album ‘Serious Moonlight Live’, ‘Never Let Me Down 2018’, ‘Glass Spider’ (live from Montreal ’87), ‘Dance, and ‘Re:Call 4’.
‘Re:Call 4’ features remastered contemporary single versions, non-album singles, album edits, b-sides and songs featured on soundtracks such as Labyrinth, Absolute Beginners and When The Wind Blows.
DANCE features 12 contemporaneous remixes, some of which are appearing on CD and vinyl for the first time, and is named after an unreleased Bowie remix album that was originally slated for release in November 1985.
‘Never Let Me Down 2018’ is a new reimagining of the albums were first sown in 2008 when David asked Mario McNulty to remix the track TIME WILL CRAWL and record new drums by longtime Bowie drummer, Sterling Campbell along with strings. The track was issued on the iSelect compilation to much acclaim, and in the notes, for that record, David remarked ‘Oh, to redo the rest of that album’.
