    box set seems to be severely lacking to me.
    i'll still get it, but this one feels like a huge let down for what should have been in here, imo

    maybe my mind will change when i see the track listing for what's on the 3 cd Recall set

    just really wanted that Hours remix everyone was talking about and Leon Suites would have been great. Almost wish i could get just the 3 Recall set, Toy and the live set.

    But where’s excerpts from outside lp version the shortened vinyl version of black tie white noise how can this be.

    strangely despite not including ridiculous duplicates like that this seems a bit thin.

    Wish they had saved toy and bbc for the next one and given is dance 2 and a hours remix.

    hoping they at least have some select remixes in recall if they leave out the live stuff that is now part of BLA, but not holding out too much hope. But really given many of these did not have traditional 7” vinyl releases how can they say specifically what fits that versus a dance item?

  3. If you eliminate tracks that were on the Brilliant Live Adventures releases you are getting pretty close to 39?I don’t know if the live tracks listed were from those shows.

    It's not really different but there are some definite vocal differences towards the end I noticed.

    Unfortunately, the only version I’ve heard was the low quality mp3 leak. I didn’t realize there might have been better version out there.

    Heh, I've been saying Re:Call 5 would almost have to be 3 CDs, and I'm glad to see they decided to do just that. :)

    I'm happy. Would maybe have been nice to see some kind of remix/alternate version of an album, but then there was never any reason to think Bowie was dissatisfied with any of these albums as released. It's not like Lodger and Never Let Me Down, nor the various '70s albums that already received remixes in his lifetime.

    Either way, I'm satisfied, even if there's nothing hugely surprising. The confirmation of Toy not being exclusive to the box set also explains that leaked/rumored/whatever you want to call it Toy box. We get the album itself in the Brilliant Adventure set, and then an expanded version for whomever would prefer to pick up Toy on its own, or is really interested in whatever the additional discs in that set will contain.

    Now I eagerly await details of what is included on Re:Call 5!

    Shall we start a new thread now for the forthcoming deluxe toy boxset?

    Technically, it hasn't been confirmed yet... but I guess a speculation thread would be valid!

    Still find it strange that You’ve Got a Habit of Leaving is the pre-release track. Granted it’s a different mix, but it’s been available for years as a Heathen era B-side. Something like Silly Boy Blue or London Boys would have made much more sense. Or better yet one of the more rare tracks to be included on ReCall 5

    They don't want to give too much away.
    I really like the song.

    With regards to the toy artwork.
    It's right they stuck to what bowie originally wanted, its good to now finally see it in all its weird glory. I rather like it.

    Seeing it properly for the first time, it's so bad it made me laugh. So I guess I kind of like it for that.

    Not surprised or disappointed. It's what I expected. Would have LOVED to hear some of the Leon sessions or Contamination, maybe when Outside turns 30 4 years from now.

    Maybe this is the least attractive of the box sets in terms of exclusive content. We had Gouster, remixed Lodger, re-recorded NLMD, and now... 5 new songs from a concert most die-hards probably already have in one form or another. Rumor is that theses songs were omitted because David lost his voice, wonder how that's gonna play out.

    Regarding Toy, no wonder the record label did not want to release it. I like the cover, probably because it's very off-setting. If that's what he wanted originally, that's how it's gotta be. I probably listened to it very few times back when it leaked, nothing really grabbed me, aside from Shadow Man, which I loved on Nothing Has Changed. Here's hoping that with higher quality and maybe slightly altered track-listing (will Slip Away [Uncle Floyd] be there?) it'll resonate with me more.

    Toy is ugliest cover ever. No wonder EMI rejected it. :laugh::laugh::laugh:
    Already having the Sony 2 CD box set should be a rational reason not to get this one, but rational decisions never bothered Bowie, so would should it me?

    Oh it must be. An apt artifact of a deranged but somehow endearing project.

    I am less interested in Bowie’s collaborators the man himself. To me, apart from Nile Rodgers they do not hold my interest. That includes Eno. All my own long-held beliefs, of course.
    And it’s Erdal Kızılçay, spell it right. :blah:

    Dear lord. That idea sounded frightening even on paper, but seeing it in action is just... :eek:

    Gott sei dank. The Arista cover had art from a Jungle Book thing, and pretended to be a soundtrack. You really can’t have TWO ugly covers in a box set.
