Zeroes Picture Disc Single: 2018

A Never Let Me Down 30th Anniversary Exclusive

Released as a limited edition 7-inch picture disc single on Parlophone Records on September 7, 2018, David Bowie’s “Zeroes (2018) (Radio Edit)” backed with “Beat Of Your Drum (2018) (Radio Edit)” was a special release to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Never Let Me Down album (and part of the Loving The Alien (1983–1988) box set campaign).

Key Details

A-Side: Zeroes (2018 Radio Edit) – Produced by David Bowie, David Richards and Mario J. McNulty; Mixed and Recorded by Mario J. McNulty

AA-Side: Beat Of Your Drum (2018 Radio Edit) – Produced by David Bowie, David Richards and Mario J. McNulty; Mixed and Recorded by Mario J. McNulty

Both tracks are newly remixed and edited radio versions from the 2018 Never Let Me Down remaster included in the Loving The Alien box set.

The images on both sides of the picture disc are outtakes by Greg Gorman from the original 1987 Never Let Me Down album photo session. Alternate versions of these photos were used on the cover of the 2018 Never Let Me Down reissue.

This exclusive picture disc was a Record Store Day-style limited release, highly sought after by Bowie collectors as a companion piece to the major 2018 box set.
