A companion album to the forthcoming David Bowie documentary film Moonage Daydream has been announced.
‘Moonage Daydream’ will feature songs spanning the late musician’s career and included previously unheard material, unique mixes created for the film, and dialogue from Bowie.
The digital edition is released by ISO Records/Parlophone Records on September 16 and is previewed by a new mix of ‘Modern Love’, the third single from Bowie’s 15th album, ‘Let’s Dance’ (1983). You can listen to it below.
Highlights of the companion release include a previously unreleased live medley of ‘The Jean Genie’ / ‘Love Me Do’ / ‘The Jean Genie’ recorded live at the final Ziggy Stardust concert at Hammersmith Odeon in 1973, featuring Jeff Beck on guitar.
Other rarities include an early version of the ‘Hunky Dory’ track ‘Quicksand’ and a previously unreleased live version of ‘Rock ’n’ Roll With Me’ from Bowie’s 1974 ’Soul Tour’.
A 2CD format of ‘Moonage Daydream’ follows on November 18, with plans to release a 3LP edition next year. Pre-orders and pre-saves for both digital and physical are open here.
