Bowie Now Album 1-LP: 2018

Released as a single LP in the UK by Parlophone Records (catalog number DBNOW18) on April 21, 2018, as part of Record Store Day, Bowie Now was the first commercial release of the rare 1977 US promotional compilation LP, now pressed on white vinyl.

The tracks were drawn from Low and “Heroes” (all audio remastered from the A New Career In A New Town box set). The package featured a newly designed inner sleeve with black and white images taken in Berlin in 1977 by Corinne Schwab.
