Bowie's Station To Station Limited Edition Box Set, Oh It's Not Available On iTunes

A friend of mine sent me a link to an article about the release of David Bowie's Limited Edition Box set of his amazing record Station To Station. Generally I stay away from box sets and limited editions because they are often high priced and filled with stuff I will only look at once. Most of the time I have already purchased the original cd (true in this case) and therefore have no desire to purchase music I already have. However this may be a special circumstance occasion.

I love David Bowie who I believe is one of the most underrated musicians of our time. Above is the original vinyl from 34 years ago plus the new box set.

Above is the picture of just what is inside the lovely box set which goes for $132.99 on Amazon and below is the list of exactly what you get:

* Original album

* Previously unreleased 'Live Nassau Coliseum '76' concert

* Station To Station - RCA CD Master

* 5-track Singles versions CD E.P. incl. previously unreleased version of Station To Station, and for first time on CD, Word On A Wing

* 3 x 12" heavyweight vinyl

* DVD with new 5.1 mix

* 24-page booklet, including: never before seen Steve Schapiro photo, Geoff MacCormack photos, Andrew Kent live Nassau photos & extensive memorabilia from the archives

* Cameron Crowe sleevenotes

* 6 panel folded poster

* Onstage folder

* Replica Backstage pass

* Replica Biog

* Replica Ticket

* Replica band line-up

* 3 press shots

* Replica Fan club folder

* Replica Fan Club Membership card

* Fan club certificate

* 2 small Collectors cards

* 2 photo prints

* Replica 4-page biography

* 2 badges

If that is a bit too pricey for you or you just won't know what to do with it all, there is a less expensive version that packs 3 cd's for only $27.99.  And just to hammer the point home, you won't be able to buy this on iTunes in all it's loveliness...you're going to have to actually reach out and touch something for a change, not just the buttons on your keyboard. Also one suggestion...instead of buying the box set, I would say put that money together and buy all of Bowie's albums. You'll have way more music to listen to and be way happier...you can thank me later.
