David Bowie: Sound + Vision versión en 4CD/Caja en remasterizado edición. Esta edición en concreto se lanzó en Europa en la editorial Parlophone el día 22. septiembre 2014.

David Bowie - the chameleon of pop music. No other musician has gone through as many incarnations as Bowie, aka David Robert Jones, the man with the multi-coloured eyes. All of these transformations were not only hugely successful, but each also opened up new dimensions in pop music that soon became entire fashions. Whether it was the glam rock of the Ziggy Stardust era, the legendary collaborations with Brian Eno on the iconic albums Low and Heroes that heralded the new wave in the Eighties, or the return to catchy rock in the late Eighties with the Tin Machine - whatever happened, Bowie had been here before. The 4CD box set "Sound + Vision" presents a concentrated look at Bowie's work from 1969 to 1994, from the acoustic demo version of his first big hit "Space Oddity" (also known as "Major Tom") to the soundtrack of "The Buddha Of Suburbia" (1993), considered by fans to be the most underrated album in the Bowie canon and composed for the TV series of the same name based on the novel by Hanif Kureishi. For five decades, David Bowie has been arguably the most versatile pop star, always surprising by constantly reinventing himself - this unique phenomenon in contemporary culture is celebrated in the large-scale exhibition "David Bowie Is", which began at London's Victoria & Albert Museum, is on display at Berlin's Martin-Gropius-Bau until August 24, and will then also be on view in Paris, Chicago and Groningen. Between 1969 and 1994, 21 of Bowie's studio albums were released, each containing several hit singles and iconic songs. But it's not just the well-known Bowie standards that will be heard on "Sound + Vision". A deep dive into the vast archive reveals real gems, such as long-forgotten B-sides, explosive live recordings, soundtracks and little-known remixes. We discover, for example, a rare B-side of Dylan's folk song "The Wild-Eyed Boy From Freecloud," a special recording of "1984 / Dodo" from 1973, an outtake from the '75 Young Americans album called "After Today," and the indispensable German version of "Helden / Heroes," perhaps his best-known hit from the album of the same name. Bowie's live performances are also legendary, showcasing him as a peerless entertainer. Already in 1973, the concert film "Ziggy Stardust: The Motion Picture" was made, the soundtrack of which was released in 1982 as a double album and is represented by three tracks on the album "Sound + Vision". The live albums "David Live" (1974) and "Stage" (1978) are among the best-selling live albums in pop music. One of the big events of the music scene is his excursion into the Brecht theatre with the album "Baal" (1982), from which some songs can be heard. The 4-CD box set is accompanied by a 64-page informative booklet that provides an excellent behind-the-scenes look at the enigma that is David Bowie. Bowie was as changeable as anyone, and his own aesthetic decisively influenced the development of pop music. He introduced himself as a folk-influenced singer-songwriter in 1969 with the album Space Oddity, then switched to hard rock in 1970 with "The Man Who Sold The World," which even twenty years later would seduce Nirvana into an iconic unplugged cover version, reached the pinnacle of glam rock with "Ziggy Stadust" (1972), became the archetype of white soul with "Young Americans" (1975), introduced electronica to pop music on a large scale with "Warszawa" (1977) and provided the blueprint for the neo-romantic scene with "Ashes To Ashes" (1980). He continued to fill stadiums around the world with songs like "Modern Love" (1983) and even became a legend in the '90s with "Jump They Say" (1993). Reviews "The collection delivers enough hits to keep it coming and enough novelty to keep it staying. Quite David Bowie." (Good Times, December 2014/January 2015) "This set is in a modest black-and-white and practical format. But the contents are spectacular: a retrospective of the work of arguably the most iconic rock star of all time." (stereoplay, December 2014)
