Across a career that stretched over half a century, David Bowie established himself as perhaps the most literate, and certainly the most mercurial songwriter of his generation. With every musical shift accompanied by a visual restart as well, particularly during his first years of fame, such characters as Ziggy Stardust, Halloween Jack and the Thin White Duke became as much a household name as Bowie himself. Yet even these pigeonholes could not contain the sheer creativity that lay behind them, and this collection illustrates just how far across the musical spectrum Bowie journeyed over the years. "Space Oddity," the 1969 hit that introduced Bowie to the world, 'blasts off' in epic fashion by The Grip Weeds; from there the milestones pile up as the genres crumble- this collection charts many of them. Mastered by Kurt Reil at The House Of Vibes; Many of the tracks were also recorded and mixed there by Kurt Reil..
