Long before Madonna started changing hairstyles between albums, David Bowie set the standard (and continues to do so) for chameleonic music styles that go beyond mere hair dye. CHANGESBOWIE is the perfect road map that allows the listener to hear the different pitstops Bowie made into the mid-'80s. Throughout the '70s, Bowie's personas included space alien ("Ziggy Stardust," "Suffragette City"), theatrical raconteur ("Rebel, Rebel"), blue-eyed soulster ("Young Americans") and Thin White Duke ("Golden Years"). After spending time in Berlin under self-imposed exile ("Heroes"), he returned to the West and within a few short years, David Bowie was back on the top of the charts thanks to a dance-rock collaboration with Nile Rodgers ("Let's Dance"). Bowie's constant need to reinvent himself is so pervasive that upon originally releasing this collection on Rykodisc, he returned to the studio and recorded an updated, '90s remix of "Fame" that sounds as if Art Of Noise were his back-up band.

Bowie's 1990 hits compilation, deleted in the U.S. Contains 18 of the Thin White Duke's finest from 1969-1990, all digitally remastered. Includes 'Space Oddity', 'Changes', 'Suffragette City', 'Rebel Rebel', 'Young Americans', 'Golden Years', 'Ashes To Ashes', 'Let's Dance' and 'Blue Jean'. 1990 release.

A notable reissue of the heretofore out-of-print in the U.S. collection from England's premier glam rocker. This latter day edition incorporates tracks from 'Changestwobowie' into this single volume, 'Changesbowie'. Originally released at the end of the 'Sound + Vision' reissue series. Includes the exclusive track 'Fame '90.' 1999.



The 1976 best-of Changesonebowie (slyly named for a Charles Mingus disc issued the previous year) was the Thin White Duke's last major commercial hit of the decade. Collecting famed singles and album cuts from an amazingly fertile period, it clicked both with those who got into Bowie through his mainstream popularity and with the crowd who loved him for his challenge to it. This expanded edition goes forward from "Golden Years," the original closer, with a hopscotch through later radio favorites like "Let's Dance." Flaws? A remixed "Fame '90" that already sounded dated when it was new, and the disc's omission of almost all of Bowie's collaborations with Brian Eno. The upside? A generally smart update of a key compilation.

Changesbowie is a CD greatest-hits collection that revamps the original Changesonebowie by adding selections from David Bowie's late-'70s and early-'80s albums. Consequently, it functions as a definitive single-disc introduction to Bowie, featuring all of his major hits from "Space Oddity," "Changes," "Ziggy Stardust," "Jean Genie," and "Rebel Rebel" to "Heroes," "Ashes to Ashes," "Let's Dance," "Modern Love," and "Blue Jean." One complaint: It wasn't necessary to substitute the "Fame '90" remix for the original to hook completists, since it is inferior and was already issued as a separate single.

Stephen Thomas Erlewine - Rovi All Music Guide



Als David Bowie 1990 mit seiner Sounds and Vision Tour durch die Welt zog, verkündete er, daß er nun zum letzten Mal seine Pophits spiele. Als Abschluß gab es die Sounds & Visons Box mit 4 CDs und die kleinere Ausgabe Changesbowie mit der Zusammenfassung all seiner großen Hits auf einer CD. Changesbowie ist sicherlich ein ungewöhnlicher Name für eine Best Of Platte, er markiert das Ende einer Periode und den Blick in die Zukunft, Nostalgie ausgeschlossen. Changesbowie ist eine gut gelungene Zusammenstellung all seiner großen Hits von den Anfängen wie "Space Oddity" und "Ziggy Stardust" bis hin zu den großen Hits Ende der 80iger Jahre wie "Blue Jean" oder "China Girl". Bei wohl keinem anderen Musiker wird selbst in den kommerziellen Hits die ganze Bandbreite seines Schaffens klarer: Von "Mott the Hoople", einem mäßigen Siebziger Song, bis zu dem gefeilten, und brillant produzierten Hit "Let´s Dance". Diese Platte ist der perfekte Einstieg in die Welt eines der großen Ausnahmemusikers der Popmusik.

Kommt nach den längst vergriffenen Samplern "Changesonebowie" und "Changestwobowie" nun die Erleuchtung für die Fans des Pop-Paradiesvogels? Nicht ganz: Die neue "Changesbowie" zur Tournee enthält zwar 21 Top-Oldies von "Space Oddity" bis "Let's Dance", doch viele heimliche Fan-Favoriten sucht man vergebens: beispielsweise "The Laughing Gnome" von 1973 oder "This Is Not America", Bowies spannendes Teamwork mit Pat Metheny. Bis alle Bowie-Originalalben in den nächsten 12 Monaten von EMI wiederveröffentlicht werden, muß sich das Fußvolk mit diesem Werk vergnügen. CD-Käufern werden drei kapitale Klassiker vorenthalten: "Starman", "Life On Mars" und "Sound And Vision". ** Interpret.: 01(für den grausigen "Fame"-Remix), 10 (für den Rest) ** Klang.: 05-08
