Another Date Change: Bowie in April

February 7, 2010 By Mike Duquette — No Comments

Yet another move on the calendar: Decca/UMe’s deluxe edition of David Bowie’s first LP – that truly wacky effort on Deram Records – has been set for an April 6 release date, a month back from its intended March release.

But those of you who can’t wait long enough for the set – consisting of the original LP in mono and stereo as well as new mixes and BBC sessions not included on the collector’s set The Deram Anthology from 1997 – note that Universal has already released the set in the U.K., so it can surely be imported.

In case you missed the track listing, it’s after the jump.
