From Bowienet:



It is with much pleasure that we can exclusively reveal details of the upcoming four disc special edition of the Station To Station album, originally released on RCA in January 1976.

Due in the first half of 2010 (we've learnt our lesson about giving exact dates this far in advance) the package will contain the following...

Station To Station Special Edition

Disc 1
CD = Original stereo Station To Station album
Disc 2
DVD = 5.1 Station To Station surround sound mix and original stereo album. 5.1 - Mixed by Harry Maslin.

Live Nassau 1976 tracklisting

01 - Station To Station
02 - Suffragette City
03 - Fame
04 - Word On A Wing
05 - Stay
06 - Waiting For The Man
07 - Queen Bitch
08 - Life On Mars?
09 - Five Years

11 - Changes (with band Intro)
12 - TVC 15

I know Nassau '76 has always been a popular show among Bowie fans, coming fourth as it did in our Bowie bootleg poll of last year. (04.26.2008 NEWS: VOTE FOR YOUR FAVOURITE BOWIE BOOTLEG & 06.01.2008 NEWS: YOUR FAVOURITE BOWIE BOOTLEG POLL RESULTS)

The poll asked: "What other bootlegs would you like to see get the official treatment?". The Thin White Duke still came fourth even after I stipulated that it would be coming out anyway.

I guess what I'm trying to say in a roundabout way is that it's probably even more popular than our poll suggested. Either way, I for one can't wait to hear Harry's 5.1 mix of Station To Station and his mix of Live Nassau 1976.

Stay tuned for more details.

oh my fucking god

now this right here is the shit.

they COULD HAVE cleaned up the legendary concert rehearsal bootleg and included it as a DVD, but i'm not complaining.

STATIONTOSTATION

news like this always make my day

What is going on with Bowie as far as new material? His last studio release was 6 years ago and he used to be so prolific. Did health problems really sidetrack him that much? I hope he's doing Ok.

Bowie must have ran out of ideas..lol

he turns up from time to time doing background vocals or as a special guest during live performances by hipster bands, but that's about it. everyone was all atwitter several months ago because someone who may or may not have been Bowie tweeted that they were in Berlin working on new material, but i don't know if there was any followup on that.

or he's an old ass man who doesn't have anything more to prove.

This sounds like possibly the best way to re-release astonishing albums.

I'm patiently standing in line with my over-sized gravy bowl.

It's a great album. Great enough to deserve the four-disc treatment?

Berlin trilogy first please. But I would LOVE to hear the concerts. Why didn't he film more of his shows? This would be a great era to release a live DVD from.

Cool. You're officially the first person I've ever talked to that loves Station To Station on this level. Don't get me wrong, it's the Berlin trilogy (I could extend that to include Iggy's The Idiot and Lust For Life), then Scary Monsters and then Station To Station for me, so I get it's power. "Word On A Wing" is the best ballad he ever wrote.

holy crap! how did i miss this?

i guess i'm so used to the man laying low that i've stopped looking for news about him. this is fantastic!

sigh.. when is prince going to realize how poorly he's neglected his legacy. somebody needs to send him a copy of this package and say "can you imagine SOTT in a package like this?"

sigh..

never got into Bowie

would this be a good way to start?

i thought this thread was about the Rappin' Duke

STATION TO STATION IN 5.1 SURROUND SOUND?!??!?
