Product Description

CD Description

Moving between Bowie as Ziggy Stardust, the Glam era, as The Genie, and through his more sombre moods and images, this album takes in the whole spectrum of Bowie's musical career.The album also includes his collaboration with Mick Jagger ('Dancing In The Street') and the much sampled Queen duet 'Under Pressure'.

5.0 out of 5 stars An outstanding introduction for new Bowie fans!, 20 Oct 2001
By A Customer
This compilation is a definate buy for the new generation of Bowie fans + old alike. This double album contains nearly all of his uk single releases (the better ones) and some album tracks too! I can't fault this album in any way- you definately can listen to it time and time again without tiring of certain tracks. The cd covers everything from Bowie's Major Tom period through to the Ziggy Stardust and Thin White Duke phase and all of his 80's hits. I found this album a great inspiration to go and buy the original albums afterwards, but this compilation is definately sufficient enough. Buy it now and get The Video Collection to go with it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply brilliant, 23 May 2001
In my opinion this is the greatest 'greatest hits' package of all time, even better than '1'. My only complaint is that we are offered the original edited version of 'Hereos' which doesn't do the song any justice. For an introduction to Bowie's career this will do the job nicely! Sit back and listen to some of the greatest rock/pop music of all time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classics galore, in many styles, 15 Mar 2005
By Pieter "Toypom" (Johannesburg) - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)   
Although this 2-disc set is not a completely comprehensive collection of Bowie's singles (the novelty UK hit The Laughing Gnome is missing, for example), the album does contain the crème de la crème of his early work, from 1969's Space Oddity to Day-in Day-out from the late 1980s. Disc One covers draws on albums like Ziggy Stardust, Hunky Dory, Aladdin Sane, Pin Ups, Diamond Dogs, Young Americans, Station To Station and Low. The song Wild Is The Wind on the second disc properly belongs here, next to Golden Years.

Disc Two opens with the magnificent and stirring Heroes and includes material from the Lodger, Scary Monsters, Let's Dance and other albums, plus collaborations like Under Pressure, the funk masterpiece with Queen, This is not America with Pat Metheny and Dancing In The Street with Mick Jagger. My other favourites on this disc are Ashes To Ashes, Fashion and Wild Is The Wind, but I find the res somewhat bland.

The first disc is proof that the early Bowie was best, with lots more variety, enthusiasm and versatility. There's everything: from proto-punk in the form of Jean Genie, catchy pop like Space Oddity and Sorrow, powerful rock lke Rebel Rebel and Diamond Dogs, proto-disco like Young Americans and Fame, soulful soft rock like Golden Years and atmospheric electronica like Sound And Vision. This impressive set contains most of the highlights of Bowie's career highlights up to the late 80s. The chronological sequence of the songs make this album particularly enjoyable.
