Waiting in the Wings: Three Vinyl Exclusives Join Final 'David Bowie Is' Installation in New York

February 27, 2018 By The Second Disc Leave a Comment

David Bowie Is, the stellar worldwide exhibition offering an unprecedented deep dive into the world of one of rock's greatest icons, is making its final bow this year, opening this Friday (March 2) at the Brooklyn Museum in New York and running there through July 15. A trio of exclusive vinyl titles, made available at the exhibition's shop, were announced today, offering color variants of two rare releases and a live mini-album with several unreleased tracks.

First up is a reissue of "Time," the third single from Bowie's 1973 masterwork Aladdin Sane. Pressed on translucent silver vinyl, this replica of the U.S. single features an edit of the A-side, the album re-recording of 1970 single "The Prettiest Star" on the flip side, and a reproduction of the original, undistributed picture sleeve, featuring the iconic Aladdin Sane artwork.

The only release with unheard content is the Live In Berlin mini-album, pressed on translucent orange vinyl. Recorded at Berlin's Deutschlandhalle on the Isolar II Tour in 1978, half of this excerpt from the set has been heard: three tracks appeared on a (since-deleted) streaming EP to promote the release of last year's A New Career In a New Town box set, and one was the B-side to "Beauty and the Beast," part of the Bowie camp's ongoing 40th anniversary picture disc releases.

Finally, 2003's iSelectBowie compilation - a frequent companion piece to David Bowie Is - makes yet another appearance at the exhibition, pressed once again on red vinyl. Created as a gift for The Mail On Sunday readers and released separately from the newspaper later in 2003, this alternate route through Bowie's first two decades focuses primarily on album tracks, with a pair of exclusive cuts: a remix of 1987's "Time Will Crawl" featuring re-recorded elements, and the opening to Bowie's famed 1972 performance in Santa Monica, California - which wouldn't be released officially until five years later. (Another special rarity: "Some Are," a Low outtake available only on the 1991 CD reissue of the album.) As with previous issues (and the original newspaper itself), this pressing includes Bowie's insightful song-by-song comments.

Featuring close to 400 pieces from Bowie's own archive, including costumes, handwritten lyrics, original album art, photographs, videos and even paintings, David Bowie Is marks a stunning tribute to a legendary musician. The full rundown of each title to be sold at the exhibition is below.
