David Bowie - Brilliant Adventure (1992-2001) [Box set #5]

I can't believe that's the cover they used, honestly. It is a long way from Hours or Heathen.

 

There was no budget for a remix and Beeb and Toy were finalized twenty years ago

 

I was talking about previously released remixes (Dance 2) but yeah, the first box without a full album remix too.

 

Looks like the official store have already sold out of all 100 copies they produced and they're now on eBay.

 

You sir, are a "Hero"

 

Will we all be able to wait with the new thread until the full tracklisting and details are published?

 

You mean later today or possibly tomorrow? No, probably not.

 

"technical notes about the albums from producers/engineers Brian Eno, Nile Rodgers, Reeves Gabrels and Mark Plati as well as a new an interview with THE BUDDHA OF SUBURBIA collaborator Erdal Kizilcay."

That's truly surprising considering Erdal's interview with SDE a few years ago...

 

Also, I told you all that was the cover meant for Toy and posted it in the old thread.

I remember that, but assumed it was some mock-up they made at the time and... well, that's probably why it got used here.

I guess it's better than The Next Day cover, anyway.

 

We were wrong and we're sorry. But that cover is still absolutely atrocious.

 

I am happy with the content of the box, the first one I will buy. I wish Buddha was the original cover and not the second cover. And Toy is soooooo ugly, I know you posted it @Frankie_Collector and it is the one they had in mind back them, but stil!!!

 

Great find!
First things I noted is that there is no Hours remix which a lot of people-including me-were convinced there was going to be.
Also if the Toy box is a real thing then most people thought the BBC show would be part of it.Can’t see that happening now particularly if the Toy album is not exclusive to this box.

 

@Innocent Smith found it

 

Not at all. This one is awful, but as long as it is historically accurate, I’m OK with it.

A bit of a disappointment that nothing unexpected is included, even if it is an unnecessary 2021 remix of any studio album. I would have loved as well a full VH1 Storytellers with restored track list.

 

No Leon? After 3 years of waiting? I’m very unimpressed.

I’ll still buy it though.

 

Perhaps I’m not in on the joke, but the cover for Toy is atrocious. What were they thinking? Most of the bootleg covers look better.

 

They've taken the CD box listing down already.

Hope you got your orders in.

 

I already own ... (checks notes) ... 0% of this on vinyl so yeah, guess I'm definitely buying the 14 (15?) LP version

 

I am happy, hope you are happy too?

Sure, No Leon material but I never believed that this will be included.
My main draw was and will be to finally have all Bowie Albums on Vinyl and I absolutely adore Outside & Earthling.
It was clear to me since they announced the time span last year that Toy will be included, so thats a very nice addition.
BBC2000 in its full length ( but I doubt that the songs with Davids voice problems are included) is a very welcomed bonus and I am always up for more Bowie live.
Finally the fully packed ReCall 5 with its enormous 3 CDs (Which could mean 5 Lps!) is going to be a treat to me.
Yeah, I am happy.

 

Nor hours remix. Nothing really exciting box exclusive bait. The option they took to do nothing extra beyond the bbc and recall is surprising and disappointing.

As such seems appropriate to mention for all our official complaining needs:

David Bowie - Brilliant Adventure (1992-2001) [Box set #5] Official Complaining Thread

 

I'm still buying it when becomes available to do so

 

Feeling both underwhelmed and a little bit relieved to be saving some $$ this November.

Owning the 2 disc BTWN, Grey Bowie boxset of 2 disc sets, and most of the BBC Concert from the Ziggy special edition, I see no reason to buy this. Might pick up a stray digital track from ReCall 5 (depending on yet revealed track listing)

After deciding I didn’t really “need” the 80s set before it was announced, The marketing team got me with Loving the Alien. I loved the cover and was intrigued by NLMD 2018, but they’re leaving me cold on this one.

 

it was used on a boot - it's disturbing
