David Bowie has confirmed details of a brand new box set release celebrating his early career. It's beautiful - check it out above.
In what is said to be the first of many career-spanning box sets for the Thin White Duke, Five Years 1969–1973 is due to drop on 25 September - and is made up of a 12 CD or 13 LP collection of all music recorded during this era - with six remastered albums, two live albums, plus a compilation of rare recordings.
The six remastered albums will be David Bowie AKA Space Oddity, The Man Who Sold the World, Hunky Dory, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars, Aladdin Sane, and PinUps - while it will also feature the iconic live albums Live Santa Monica '72 and Ziggy Stardust: The Motion Picture Soundtrack.
