Parlophone Records are proud to announce DAVID BOWIE 'A NEW CAREER IN A NEW TOWN (1977 - 1982)' the third in a series of box sets spanning Bowie's career from 1969.

The follow-up to the awarding winning and critically acclaimed DAVID BOWIE 'FIVE YEARS (1969 - 1973)' and DAVID BOWIE 'WHO CAN I BE NOW? (1974 - 1976)' released on 29th September and will contain a brand new remix of the 1979 album 'LODGER' by long time Bowie producer/collaborator Tony Visconti.

The eleven CD box, thirteen-piece vinyl set and the Mastered For iTunes and standard digital download sets feature material officially released by Bowie between 1977 and 1982. It includes the so-called 'Berlin Trilogy' of albums on which he collaborated with Visconti and Brian Eno, and is completed by 'SCARY MONSTERS (And Super Creeps)'.

The box set, named after the final track on side one of 'LOW', includes 'LOW', '"HEROES"', 'STAGE' (ORIGINAL and 2017 VERSIONS), 'LODGER', 'LODGER (Tony Visconti 2017 Mix)', 'SCARY MONSTERS (And Super Creeps)' and 'RE:CALL 3'. Finally we have the '"HEROES"' E.P., which rounds up the German and French album and single versions of the track in one place for the first time, a compilation exclusive to the set celebrating the 40th anniversary of the song.

In the vinyl version of the box the original 'STAGE' will be pressed on yellow vinyl, replicating the limited edition U.K. release of the time. The 2017 version of 'STAGE' features two previously unreleased tracks.

Exclusive to each of the box sets is 'LODGER (Tony Visconti 2017 Mix)'. The remix was started with David's blessing before his passing in January last year. Tony Visconti has revisited the original multi-tracks at Human Studios and remixed the album with the benefit of modern technology to better highlight the album's nuances. Always a personal favourite of David's, this version of the album will also feature newly 'remixed' artwork featuring unseen images from the original cover photographic session from the archive of the Estate of photographer Duffy, working closely with his son Chris.

Also exclusive to each box is 'Re:Call 3', a new compilation featuring remastered contemporary single versions, non-album singles and b-sides, and songs featured on soundtracks. The cover features a photo by Christian Simonpietri taken at Hansa Studios in Berlin during the '"Heroes"' sessions in 1977. The 'Baal' E.P. in its entirety is making its CD debut while 'Beauty And The Beast' (extended version) and 'Breaking Glass' (Australian single version) are making their debuts on CD and digital formats.

'Beauty And The Beast' (extended version) is available as a digital download upon pre-order of the box set. This version of the '"Heroes"' album track is making its digital and CD debut having previously only been available on a rare US promo 12" and as a limited 12" release in Spain.

The physical box set's accompanying book, 128 pages in the CD box and 84 in the vinyl set, will feature rarely seen and previously unpublished photos by photographers including Anton Corbijn, Helmut Newton, Andrew Kent, Steve Schapiro, Duffy and many others as well as historical press reviews and technical notes about the albums from producer Tony Visconti.

The CD box set will include faithfully reproduced mini-vinyl versions of the original albums, and the CDs will be gold coloured rather than the usual silver. The vinyl box set has the same content as the CD set and is pressed on audiophile quality 180g vinyl.

*A New Career In A New Town (1977-1982) will also be made available in High Definition audio digital formats (192kHZ/24bit and 96kHZ/24bit). Content varies from other formats due to the resolution of the available original source material.

Published today is DAVID BOWIE: A LIFE by DYLAN JONES.

Dylan Jones's engrossing, magisterial biography of David Bowie is unlike any Bowie story ever written. Drawn from over 180 interviews with friends, rivals, lovers, and collaborators, some of whom have never before spoken about their relationship with Bowie, this oral history weaves a hypnotic spell as it unfolds the story of a remarkable rise to stardom and an unparalleled artistic path. Tracing Bowie's life from the English suburbs to London to New York to Los Angeles, Berlin, and beyond, its collective voices describe a man profoundly shaped by his relationship with his schizophrenic half-brother Terry; an intuitive artist who could absorb influences through intense relationships and yet drop people cold when they were no longer of use; and a social creature equally comfortable partying with John Lennon and dining with Frank Sinatra.

By turns insightful and deliciously gossipy, DAVID BOWIE is as intimate a portrait as may ever be drawn. It sparks with admiration and grievances, lust and envy, as the speakers bring you into studios and bedrooms they shared with Bowie, and onto stages and film sets, opening corners of his mind and experience that transform our understanding of both artist and art. Including illuminating, never-before-seen material from Bowie himself, drawn from a series of Jones's interviews with him across two decades, DAVID BOWIE is an epic, unforgettable cocktail-party conversation about a man whose enigmatic shapeshifting and irrepressible creativity produced one of the most sprawling, fascinating lives of our time.

Hardcover, with 576 pages, and a Kindle version, published via Preface Publishing.

Synopsis: Dylan Jones, OBE, is the Editor of British GQ. He studied design and photography at Chelsea School of Art and St. Martins School of Art in London before becoming the Editor of i-D magazine in 1984. He has since been an Editor at The Face, Arena, The Observer and The Sunday Times. Dylan has won the BSME Editor Of The Year award seven times, once for his work on Arena (1993), and six times for GQ (2001, 2002, 2004, 2008, and two awards in 2007).

Dylan has published several international best-selling biographies and books, which include his When Ziggy Played Guitar in 2012.

IMAN on DAVID BOWIE's Legacy and Her Life in Vogue in the September issue of US VOGUE magazine - available now.

Extract: Iman: Some months ago, the stars demanded David's presence. We surrendered a husband, a father, a father-in-law, a friend, a mentor, and all the nameless daily ecstasies that occur between people who love one another. The outpouring of grief over David's passing has helped me tremendously, though sometimes I've been at odds with it, too: Universal grieving for your life partner can also keenly deepen your own sense of all that you've lost. David gave me the most exciting, touching, and deliriously loving 24 years. Still, it was not enough - shockingly brief. And although I'll never get used to losing him, David is nonetheless hiding in plain sight. We have our beautiful daughter, Lexi, now seventeen; a year ago, David's son, Duncan, and his wife, Rodene, gave birth to a son, Stenton; my daughter Zulekha and her husband, Jason, will bless us with a baby this summer. With this burgeoning family, I've added a new title to my list: Nana. So I'm Mom and Nana now, while striving to live up to my name in spirit and example; to have iman; to always have faith. As for David, I have perfect iman that we'll be together again. Love doesn't cease; love reshapes.

Check out the unboxing promo video for the DAVID BOWIE 'A NEW CAREER IN A NEW TOWN (1977 - 1982)' released later this month...

After some ill-formed comments and posts by certain members on the BW Message Board concerning the new remix of DAVID BOWIE's Lodger album featured in the forthcoming A NEW CAREER IN A NEW TOWN (1977 - 1982) Boxed Set released this month, TONY VISCONTI responded on his Facebook page...

Bowiewonderworld post:

"Are any of my FB friends active in the above Bowie group? There seems to be a lot of erroneous and egregious comments about the remix of Lodger. For the record, remixing began in the middle of 2015, never before. It has been well documented that David and I always wanted to remix Lodger but there never seemed to be a good time to do that. In 2015 we were making Blackstar together and David was also busy with his musical Lazarus. There were short periods when David wasn't in the studio, yet I was in a high state of creativity. I opened up Fantastic Voyage and started to mix it and after a few hours I left it in a better state than I had found it (I did more tweaking later on). A few weeks later I tackled African Night Flight and Move On. Then I knew this album could sound great. After I had mixed Yassassin and Red Sails I surprised David with the results. He was extremely pleased and gave me the green light to finish mixing the entire album. Because we were still working on Blackstar that year I never got a chance to complete it until later in 2016 due to my other production commitments and Holy Holy tours. There you have it from me."

He also went on to respond to another post in the same thread: "It's not remixed like a DJ mix. It just sounds WAY better, more depth, more clarity, more definition and more David. You can hear all of the drum fills that were buried in the original mix lots of other tasty licks that were also a bit buried."

HOLY HOLY featuring WOODY WOODMANSEY and TONY VISCONTI are playing dates in Europe in October and November.

After Poland, they play 3 dates in Spain: 1st November Joy Eslava / 2nd Nov: San Sebastian / 3rd Nov: Barcelona - Barts.

Update: New cover and publication date... New book scheduled for publication later this month is WHEN ZIGGY PLAYED THE MARQUEE: David Bowie's Last Performance as Ziggy Stardust by TERRY O'NEILL.

When Ziggy played The Marquee Club in Soho, London, in October 1973, most of those invited to the small venue did not realise that this would be the last performance David Bowie would ever give as Ziggy Stardust. Terry O'Neill, celebrated photographer, was given unprecedented access to document the event. O'Neill captured Bowie and his crew backstage as they went through costume changes, and Bowie transformed into the character he'd soon put to rest. On stage, dodging television cameras and lights, O'Neill snapped the incredible stage presence for which Bowie and his crew had become renowned. O'Neill remembers of Bowie: "He became a character on stage. As much as a person takes a role in a play for the West End or on Broadway, learning the lines, putting on the costumes - this was, I think, the way Bowie treated his stage. This night at the Marquee, I witnessed a modern-day Hamlet - and it was Ziggy Stardust". Foreword by Gary Kemp.

About the Author: Terry O'Neill has had a star-studded career. He has been in the business of capturing the most iconic, candid, and unguarded moments of the famous and infamous for six decades. His reportage photography chronicled the evolution of fashion in the postwar era, and later the emergence of bands such as The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and The Animals, and icons like David Bowie and Elton John. He has been photographer-of-choice for a multitude of celebrities, from Frank Sinatra and Audrey Hepburn to Raquel Welch and Paul Newman, and remains the only photographer to have captured shots not only of every James Bond to date, but also more than 25 Bond girls and a staggering 150 Oscar-nominated actors and actresses. O'Neill was awarded with the Royal Society of Arts' highest honour, the Centenary Medal, in 2012.
