John Robinson 3 Posted November 11 Share Posted November 11 Welcome to Ultimate Record Collection: David Bowie, Pt 2 (1977-1989). It's the second volume in our definitive Bowie timeline trilogy: all the records in order of release, with first-person eyewitness accounts from the people who worked alongside Bowie making the music. Just in case the pandemic stopped you finding Part 1, that's been reprinted and is available in our store (uncut.co.uk/single) now, too. Or you can get the pair in a heavily-discounted bundle. All with free UK P&P. Meanwhile, if ever there was an opportunity for you to tell us about your favourite Space Oddity oddity or post your favourite regional sleeve variation, it's now...

Guest Rob Franks Posted November 12 Share Posted November 12 Hi John - so just to be clear, is the Bowie RC pt2 only available to purchase online? (As I would have been hunting around Tesco and Sainsburys later...) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John Robinson 3 Posted November 12 Author Share Posted November 12 Hi Rob You're quite right, yes - it's an online exclusive. Sainsbury's will net you a UMG Talking Heads but Bowie pt 2 is here with free UK P&P: https://magazines.bandlabtechnologies.com/store/products,ultimate-record-collection-david-bowie-part-ii_269.htm Cheers JR Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Thanks John - order placed Posted November 12 Share Posted November 12 👌 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
junkshopman 0 Posted November 12 Share Posted November 12 Re favourite foreign Bowie sleeve - this South African album from 1973 (basically Deram 'Images' comp in a different order) is a personal favourite. And not too pricey on Discogs too, if you fancy adding it to your record collection. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John Robinson 3 Posted November 13 Author Share Posted November 13 Love it. I like the cartoon Images cover (US version is it?) where Uncle Arthur looks like Ringo Starr. The 1975 one where they have the "Philly Dogs" cover tells its own story too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
junkshopman 0 Posted November 13 Share Posted November 13 Yes, those World Of variants are interesting too. I have the bubble perm one in mono - but, interestingly enough (to me at least) - just found out that 'The mono edition of this collection is a fold-down of the stereo tape, and therefore does not contain the true mono mixes available prior and/or since on other releases.' Damn! Another favourite variant attached. A US pressing of even earlier material - from the three Pye singles (including the Lower Third one). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John Robinson 3 Posted November 13 Author Share Posted November 13 When's that from - late 70s? "Do Anything You Say" very much my fave. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
junkshopman 0 Posted November 13 Share Posted November 13 On further researching the album I've found that it actually was a Canadian release - and came out in 1981. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scott 0 Posted November 14 Share Posted November 14 @John RobinsonI'm glad you've reprinted the first part of this Bowie trilogy. I somehow missed it first time around, and the copies for sale on eBay are extortionate! I ordered Parts 1 and 2 a couple of days ago, really looking forward to receiving them 🙂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
junkshopman 0 Posted November 14 Share Posted November 14 Just been sent this by a Scottish Bowie fan friend - from a local paper back in the day. 'The Human Oddity' indeed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hope you enjoy them when they arrive! Cheers John 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rob Franks 0 Posted November 17 Share Posted November 17 Some UMG hopes for 2021...The Doors (50th anniversary of JM's death), T-Rex (50 yrs since Electric Warrior), Blur (30 years since Leisure), Nirvana/Foos (30 years since Nevermind), Arctic Monkeys (15 years since WPSIATWIN). And Jack White. Just because. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And Jack White. Just because. Good choices Rob! Blur (and solo projects), Nirvana/Foos, The Doors, and Jack White would also be on my UMG wishlist, along with Zappa and Suede. Also deluxe versions of Depeche Mode and Kate Bush, just because I missed them first time around! Edited November 18 by Scott Quote Link to post Share on other sites
