David Bowie has unveiled what the beautiful box set editions of new Best Of album, Nothing Has Changed, will look like. 

Designed by Jonathan Barnbrook, who worked on the artwork for Bowie's storming 2013 comeback The Next Day, the box sets are pretty stunning indeed. Check out the CD edition above, and the vinyl version below. 

"It is with much pleasure that we can reveal the three different Jonathan Barnbrook designed sleeves for the upcoming Nothing Has Changed – The Very Best of Bowie compilation," reads  a statement from Bowie, explaining the artwork. 

"The 3CD Deluxe Edition/Digital Download features a Jimmy King photograph from 2013, while the 2CD Edition/Digital Download has a 1975 Steve Schapiro picture. Finally, the Double Vinyl features a Mick Rock shot of Bowie at his Haddon Hall home in Beckenham in 1972.

"Nothing Has Changed – The Very Best of Bowie is released on Parlophone on November 17th, in the UK and via Columbia/Legacy on November 18th In the US. (Regional variations apply)".

Listen to 'Sue (Or In A Season Of Crime)' below

The new collection, featuring new single 'Sue (Or In A Season Of Crime)' is released on 17 November and contains music from his 50 year career from 1964-2014 including rarities such as 'Your Turn To Drive' and the 2001 version of 'Shadow Man' and James Murphy 'Hello Steve Reich Mix' of 'Love Is Lost' (although sadly not the ten minute version).

Nothing Has Changed takes its name from a lyric on Heathen. The Thin White Duke is also the subject of David Bowie Is, a film documenting the Victoria and Albert Museum exhibition from 2012.
