CONTEXT AND NOTES

These reissues highlight a rich period in Bowie’s later career: the art-rock return of Heathen (produced with Tony Visconti), the energetic Reality, the epic A Reality Tour, the secretive The Next Day, and the jazz-infused farewell of Blackstar. The 2025 remasters bring renewed attention to this era of Bowie’s catalog.
