Description
Collectible out-of-print DAVID BOWIE Five Years 1969-1973 Box Set (Vinyl Version) released in 2015 shortly before Bowie's passing.
Ten vinyl albums (13 LPs) + hardbound book. Lead-in 1969 portrait of Bowie in book, as it was presented in the 1969 Humble Pie UK tour souvenir program, is signed by the photographer Alec Byrne.
The box itself, the book, the jackets and records are all in close-to-perfect condition with ONE exception: the Re:Call 1 sleeve has a slight ding, front lower right (see photo). I'm happy to send other photos on request.
The vinyl has never been played.
The lead photo in the box set companion book features the signature of photographer Alec Byrne, who captured the image during a session with Bowie in Paddington Green, London in Sept. 1969, just as “Space Oddity” was making its way up the charts.
David Bowie Five Years 1969 – 1973 a 13 album vinyl set pressed on audiophile 180g vinyl features all of the material officially released by Bowie during the early stage of his career.
Exclusive to the box: Re:Call 1 a new 2-disc compilation of non-album singles, single versions & b-sides. It features a previously unreleased single edit of “All The Madmen“. Also included is the original version of “Holy Holy“, which was only ever released on the original 1971 Mercury single and hasn’t been available since.
Also exclusive: a 2003 stereo remix of The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars by the album’s original co-producer Ken Scott, previously only available on DVD with the LP/DVD format of the 40th anniversary edition of the album.
The box set’s accompanying book, features rarely seen photos as well as technical notes about each album from producers Tony Visconti and Ken Scott, an original press review for each album and a short foreword by Ray Davies.

"Shortly after the photo session I got a call from Bowie’s office saying they would like to use one of the pictures from the park as his publicity shot in the program for the Humble Pie tour. Fast-forward to 2015, and I got word that the same photo, pulled from an old copy of the program, was to be the lead image for the book accompanying Bowie’s new box set, Five Years (1969–1973). Nearly fifty years on, and out of all the incredible photos that had been taken of him over the years, I was humbled to think he still liked that one from the park. And, just a few months later, when I heard the sad news of Bowie’s passing in January 2016, I thought back to that afternoon we’d spent together and was reminded of how lucky I was to have been in that place, at that time.”
