The cast album for the late David Bowie’s Lazarus will be released October 21 and will be available for pre-order beginning September 15.

In addition to the cast interpretations, the record is set to feature the three final Bowie studio recordings.

The show’s title track, Lazarus, was performed by Michael C. Hall, who starred as the human-looking and lovelorn alien. The same song was also featured on Bowie’s final album, Black Star—both versions, sung by Hall and Mr. Bowie, will be available on the cast album.

Bowie is featured in the recordings of “No Plan,” “Killing a Little Time” and “When I Met You.” The tracks are co-produced by the late artist and Tony Visconti and recorded with Donny McCaslin and his quartet, the same band that played on the Black Star album.

Obviously for me a must-buy, it will be on my shelf (and ears) on release days.......

... but I'm not sure those 3 songs are the latest Bowie worked on before his death.

Tony Visconty talked of some additional tunes existing from the "Blackstar" sessions and even some later demos.

We'll see in the next months.

Nice. I wonder If the play was video taped? Would be a nice combo release.

I read about a few (5?) songs he had been working on for the follow-up album to Black Star. They should make it clear if these songs are from those sessions. David thought he had more time to get another album done...

I don't think so. He was well aware that his timing was finishing.

I think "Blackstar" was meant and projected as the artistic counterpart to his death.
It is majestic, in that meanings.

Maybe there was some demo and works after (as Tony Visconti said), but to me it was a matter of "moment inspiration" and not something made with another album in mind.

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if one day we'll discover that Bowie decided also the day to die.

Thanks will be on the lookout for it.

I did hear that David wanted to start on another record or had just started it also, not sure what interview it was in which magazine after his death.

Found it very similar to Freddie Mercury's death where he obvously knew it was borrowed time. "The Miracle" in 1989 they thought would be the end, they were suprised he had the strength to do "Innuendo" when that album was released the week after they were back in the studio because at that point Freddie knew what they were doing would not be released till after his death. As Brian put it he would say "write me anything and I will give you what you need to carry on" and Brian would get 3 takes of each bit that would be all, when it came time to do "mother love" his final recorded song, when they got to the last verse Freddie sai "I will be back, I am not feeling well now" and he never came back, Brian sings the last verse of that.

Bremer Trust, and Londell could learn a thing or three from Bowie's estate.

It is a way different situation though. I am sure BOWIE had a plan, PRINCE even if he knew or thought was in poor health there was very little future planning. And also I don't think BOWIE has that kind of material stockpiled that has not come out, he's had so many different issues and reissues and remasters and bonus stuff that there is very little if anything in that well. Brian May of QUEEN was asked about material left and he said there is nothing left he knows of, from Freddie that we have not used yet. With PRINCE there is no plan, there is stuff but who is in charge? Yeah there is a lawyer and an advisor BUT they are thinking about "oh let's release vault tracks the fans want" they are businessmen they have no idea what the fans are calling for. WHAT may happen to be honest and someone on this forum hinted that it would, is around the Holidays, WB slaps something together with maybe something unreleased included, like another HITS but with 3 unrleased songs, something they know the CASUAL fan will buy and old timers

some associate reissues would even be nice...madhouser, apollonia, vanity...

The body isn't that cool yet. Let's give it some time, and see what happens. It takes money & time to put those things together, and even more to remaster something, find extra tracks, put those on, etc etc. This isn't going to happen in the next few months. It's going to be years, if it happens at all.

Too bad Prince's estate won't be run like Bowie's well-oiled machine...

Not to belabor the point, but Prince, unfortunately, did not put his affairs in order, whereas David Bowie did. Regardless, I hope someday we'll get to hear the Vault recordings that Prince prophetically said someone else would release.

Warner must have already had these reissues in mind before his death then because they DID NOT hesitate in reissuing the vinyls once a month now. Thank goodness they are because the demand is high. I know digital reissues are going to take awhile especially with Prince later stuff being all over the map...thats just given.

:::: Dig around on the Org. I've laid it out plenty, and others have, too. Those reissued remasters were part of a bigger deal with Prince. You don't just remaster an album, press a few hundred thousand copies, & ship them in a couple of weeks.

They're not reissues, by the way, solely. They're remasters. They were in the works from 2014 as part of him getting his masters back in bulk (opposed to just letting the 35-year copyright law expire), remaster & reissue them, and WB had the sole license from Prince to do that. They also got the right to distribute AOA and PE.

For You, and Prince were already coming out a month apart before he died, and the other dates were set as well. Some have changed since.

Again, look on the Org. This has been posted ad nauseum since April 21.

No I know that I actually have two of the 180G remasters liek Dirty Mind and Purple Rain..however Im talking about Parade which came out recently for example...which is not remastered i think..nor is it 180G like the others. This release seems different than the remasters I have.

this: for example

https://www.discogs.com/Prince-Prince/release/8486292

(Prince - Reissue)

https://www.discogs.com/Prince-And-The-Revolution-Parade-Music-From-The-Motion-Picture-Under-The-Cherry-Moon/release/8955563

(Parade - Reissue)

is different than this:

https://www.discogs.com/Prince-Dirty-Mind/release/5030969

https://www.discogs.com/Prince-1999/release/4913531

(both are 180G and state they are remastered)

So these reissues do not look like remasters, but are exactly as you said reissued. If they are part of that deal that's fine, but it just doesnt say they are remastered at all on the labels whatsoever.

As I said, read and do the homework. They're all remasters. The ones from 2011 (Dirty Mind, Controversy, 1999, Purple Rain) are all remasters, and been verified by Bernie Grundman himself. That's pretty well known.

The other stuff is remastered as well. Discogs notes it, as did Prince on his twitter. He noted that the remasters were done, but WB wasn't willing to pay him on the licensing what he thought he deserved. Eventually, it got worked out.

Hmm it says that for one of the releases at least from what I see especially on For You. maybe Discogs don't have all the info up to date but ok

Visconti has confirmed Bowie intended to release one more album after Blackstar and 5/6 of the tracks had been recorded.

Visconti has stated that he thought Blackstar was going to be David's "farewell album", as David had already informed about his time running out to him and a few others, but just shortly before David died he had started on working on some new songs, which surprised Visconti.

I kind of get the impression that Blackstar was indeed meant to be the final album in David's mind too, but he thought that he still has the time and energy to do a few more songs latrt. It didn't seem to be the case that he thought he'd actually have the time to get another album completed and released while he was still alive.

The new song is really good.

It's kind of like "Sue" on the Blackstar Album, stylistically, but it's not as sketchy.

Dexter been knocking out of the park. He was on the Andre Marr show last sunday in the UK. He's really great. Total surprise.

Whoever is responsible for Queen's music now needs to stop. It's getting murdered and raped in the UK by furniture ads, Pepsi, detergent ads and apparently even Katy Perry . Even as a casual fan, I think it's horrible what's happened. So disrespectful. Alright some are oldish, But how much money do these fuckers need? I now this is is a Bowie thread but it's relevant. I've already seen some ads with his music in too here. Prince next?
