David Bowie, the legendary musician that passed away earlier this year, will release a new boxset.
The compilation will be called "Who Can I Be Now" and it is the natural continuation of the previous boxset "Five Years".
It will include mainly things between Aladdin Sane era and the Berlin years.
You can spot not only the 3 studio albums Young Americans, Diamong Dogs and Station to Station (the alst two have two versions each) but also the classic David Live, Live Nassau Coliseum '76, and b-sides and single versions album Re:Call 2.
But, most important of all, there will be a new album called The Gouster. This album is something like a sketch or an experiment to what became Young Americans.
Quoting Bowie's long-term producer Tony Visconti "Gouster was a word unfamiliar to me, but David knew it as a type of dress code worn by African-American teens in the Sixties in Chicago," Visconti explains in the excerpt. "But in the context of the album its meaning was attitude, an attitude of pride and hipness. Of all the songs we cut, we were enamored of the ones we chose for the album that portrayed this attitude."
Visconti goes on to discuss his and Bowie's love of soul and says that with The Gouster they "sure as hell wanted to make a killer soul album." This led to a fresh take for "John, I'm Only Dancing (Again)," which was recorded in 1974 and was supposed to be the lead song on the album's original track list. It was later released in 1979. Visconti describes the song as an "outrageous brand new, funkafied version of David's classic."
