For those who haven't ordered this title yet—here are a few screen grabs! Also added the forthcoming mashup single 'Rebel Never Gets Old', plus the Go Home Productions Sampler featuring three other Bowie mashups/remixes. Adding a new DVD was a good opportunity to update the somewhat neglected Music Videos section; also added two variations of the UK 'Black Tie White Noise' CD-single and a proper scan of the Japanese 'Never Get Old' CD-single. Thanks Maarten Kwant, Mike Morton and Mark Vidler.

To celebrate the new looks of the discography, I have added a very special track to the Real Audio section—an amazing live version of 'Waiting For The Man', recorded at the famous 1976 Uniondale concert. Unlike most of the other songs from this concert, 'Waiting For The Man' previously has never been available. Go to Real Audio [removed] and have a listen!

Thanks go out to Hillel Abramov, Gabriel Alcalde, Zig Dust, David Gibbs and Joan Sands.
v 11.4: added Bowie At The Beeb (plus its promo), the Rarest Live and little known Superstar compilations, the Best Of The Best, Best and Greatest Hits pirates, and the Yahoo Internet Life and Maximum '65 giveaway CDs. In Real Audio [removed] you are treated to no less than 11 rare recent tracks. Thanks Ya-Zu Chang, Stephen Cohen, Thomas Feichtenschlager, Mike Harvey and Peter Smit.
v 11.3: Contributions has been renamed Guest Appearances, while a new Contributions section covers songs and albums to which Bowie devoted his qualities as a musican or producer. Real Audio [removed] has 8 songs from the period 1966-1969. Thanks Rustic Jan (of the Rustic Overtones web site), Sc0b and all the people that kept nagging me about writing a Contributions section!
v 11.2: as Bowie received raving reviews of his latest US/UK concerts, I thought it would be nice to add 10 songs to the Real Audio [removed] section that are available in live format only. Of course data about these 2000 one-off concerts have been incorporated as well, as have Next Friday - Old School (to Soundtracks), Great Hits US (to Pirates) and the promo videos Bowie. Soul.

v 10.7: enhanced lay-out and navigation in most sections, updated the BBC Sessions with two recent appearances, and, "inspired" by a piece on BowieNet, extended the note on how to expose the four The Man Who Sold The World counterfeits. Talking about forgery - also two recent pirate CDs (Very Best and Golden Classics 2000) have been added to Compilations.
v 10.6: (finally!) added pictures of the two missing Disconet 12"es ('Cat People' and 'This Is Not America'), a French compilation bundling Outside and Earthling, plus 8 Bowie/Gabrels penned and performed instrumentals from the Omikron: The Nomad Soul game (the Gabrels-only instumentals have been omitted).

As you can read on Teenage Wildlife, a number of different editions of the 'Survive' single has been released throughout Europe; these have all been incorporated into this update.

v 10.2.1: corrected the 'Thursday's Child' CD-single information, added an overlooked give-away promo and rearranged the About and Credits pages. As you may have noticed, several of the links to Real Audio files are dead. Please visit Shadowman for an explanation.

There's a new 12" Singles section, which lists all of Bowie's 12"es—promos and regular releases. Furthermore, several sections have been rearranged—Compilations have been moved to their own section, and Early Works has been split into an album and singles section. New information has been added to practically every section, so take a look around. A big thank you to Phil Drenth, Zig Dust, Calvin Hedgecoke, Stephen Rouse, Ingmar Sillius, Peter Smit, Chiaki Taki, Matt Westacott and Eiichi Yoshimura for their contributions and of course to Daria for her suggestion to add some spice to this page ;)
v 8.5: added the Interviews section [now removed] with interview singles, LPs and CDs, plus the first Radio Specials and a few more promo CDs. Furthermore, I have provided a Show Navigation Bars option at the bottom of all sections (Songs, Albums, etc.). In the rare cases when links from external pages unintentionally circumvent the navigation frames (by directly linking to a section), these can now accessed by clicking the Show Navigation Bars link; the same page will open between the fancy bars : )
v 8.4.1: added the Revelations 3LP to the Contributors section and linked it to Brian Currin's page dedicated to this album. Also some more promo CDs (thanks very much Eiichi!).
v 8.4: linked the RCA/EMI promo LPs in the Promos section to Eiichi's brand-new Collectible Vinyl Discography; added some more promo LPs and the first few promo CDs, the Naked Too compilation and an overlooked Belgian release called Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars "Live". The Soundtracks section now includes all albums featuring Bowie songs, including the most recent The Sound of Gran Turismo. Furthermore, I changed lots of minor things in most of the other sections. Thanks Marshall Jarman for the remark about the "exclusive" Korean compilation, Sean Doherty for his immense list of promos (keep 'em coming please!), and Eiichi for putting up the promo LPs so fast.
v 8.3.1: expanded the Promos section with flexi's/CDs/CD-ROM's given away with magazines. Added Space Oddity, yet another pointless compilation CD with Decca material. Thanks Paul Kinder for promo info.
v 8.3: added information from and links to Eiichi's new Japanese Discography. Furthermore I made a start with a new section called Promos, covering promo-only interview LPs, sampler CDs, etc. As you may have noticed, Mac OS 8.5 has a new, advanced search program called Sherlock. Mac users can search the Interactive db Discography from their desktop after downloading and installing this Sherlock Plug-In (see Read Me file for instructions). Many thanks to Evan for writing the plug-in!
v 8.2.1 added the 'What's Really Happening' competition, several overlooked edits (a/o of 'TVC 15'), a "new" version of 'All The Young Dudes', and more hardcore information provided by Colin McIntyre (for which many thanks)!
v 8.2: you can now listen to several outtakes, as I've linked these to the RealAudio files available on the Shadowman webpage; thanks Christian. I have restricted myself to songs that have never appeared on any official release (such as 'Even A Fool Learns To Love' and 'That's A Promise') and suggest visiting Shadowman yourself to play your own selection of rare Bowie songs. Added 'A Foggy Day (In London Town)' from Red Hot + Rapsody and 'Sky Life', which apparently has been dropped from the Rugrats soundtrack. Furthermore, there are some new links to Pär's videos (check out the Music Videos section) and to Eiichi's Unofficial Discography. Corrected some typos and fixed the remaining broken links to Teenage Wildlife - sure! : )
v 8.1: Evan provided a basic search option (accessible from the Navigation popup in the upper left corner).
v 8.0.1: broken links to song and album information on Teenage Wildlife should now be fixed; thanks Evan. Added 'Fun' from the BowieNet "Hyper CD", available only to new BowieNet subscribers. David Gibbs supplied musicians and producers information to the BBC Sessions, for which many thanks.
v 8.0: new interface! People tied to an old computer that won't run the latest frame-supporting browsers now also should be able to browse the discography. Thanks Aras van Hertum (of Phat! Amsterdam fame) for helping out with some of the JavaScripts. Concerning contents, I re-established links to Eiichi's Unofficial Discography, and added an exclusive Korean compilation and The Axeman Cometh (DB003). Live Videos now is called Music Videos and covers all of Bowie's music videos rather than live tapes only. This section probably still is incomplete, so I much welcome your suggestions and additions. Ingmar Sillius, Stephen Rouse, Colin McIntyre and Dara O'Kearney contributed highly appreciated snippets of info to this update.
v 7.1.1: Colin McIntyre argues that Man Of Words, Man Of Music should actually be called David Bowie, just like the releases of Bowie's second album outside the US; read his foundations here. I'd also like to thank Colin for his corrections regarding some Australian/New Zealand releases. Broken links to the Live Videos section have been fixed.
v 7.1: added the 'Needles On The Beach' instrumental from the Beyond The Beach compilation and the Bridge 1996 (Savage Hippo SH 119) CD. Also some interface changes: album titles (again) are in italics, and all bootlegs have a label name plus catalogue number (so they should be easier identified as such). Thanks Emmanuel Pasqualini, Stephen Rouse, Matt Westacott and Zig Dust for your contributions.
v 7.0.4: added the Starman Over The Rainbow (Savage Hippo SH 118; London, Rainbow Theatre, 19-08-72) 2CD, which as a bonus a/o has a host of excellent BBC recordings that previously were unavailable or circulating only in bad quality.
v 7.0.3: two more songs from the 11-01-72 BBC session have surfaced! Furthermore, I added the 99X Live X IV "Home" compilation, the David Bowie Songbook compilation (other artists covering our hero), and tracks from the following bootlegs: Trident Session '72 & Live Glasgow '73 (7172-9), Heaven Or Maybe Hell (Artie Fartie CD 001), 1993 (BOW1993), Seven Months In America (Thunderball TB 013), and The Chaos Girls (Montserrat BRCD 2900/2901). Thanks again Stefan for the catalogue numbers of the Rykodisc AU20 series.
v 7.0.2: corrected the tracklisting of The Best Of David Bowie 1974/1979, which was based on a promo rather than the official release (thanks Stefan Westman) and again repaired some Bowie At The Beeb missers... (it should finally be OK by now?!). Also I removed the link to the forthcoming (?) Ziggy Stardust CD-ROM as I have serious doubts about this and the David Robert Jones issue, and apparently I am not the only one—thanks Evan (Teenage Wildlife), Mike (Ziggy Stardust Companion), and Stefan (Bassman's Bowie Page) for the discussion.
v 7.0.1: some corrections still to the BBC sessions; also removed the references to the BBC 3CD set as it is unlikely to be released.
v 7.0: David Gibbs and I did a brave effort to finally straighten out the 1972 BBC sessions using some recently surfaced material; lots of errors have been removed, and notes and useful identifiers for each song of every session have been added- thanks very much Dave! Furthermore, I added The Best Of David Bowie 1974/1979 and an overlooked 1991 Tin Machine live version of 'Waiting For The Man' (thanks Maarten- BTW, all my e-mails to you bounce back!). As Eiichi hasn't updated his page for months now and as many links to his site appeared to be broken, unfortunately I had to remove direct links to his Unofficial Discography. As soon as his site is back up again I will try to regain the interactivity.
v 6.9.3: added three Early Works compilation LPs, all inspiringly called David Bowie. Additional information about two of these, an Argentinean release and a compilation of unknown origin, is very welcome! Also some minor tweaks in the Song section, and thanks Evan for the counter.
v 6.9.2: moved changes prior to v 6.0 to the Old News section; from now on all changes will be logged here rather than separately for each section.
v 6.9.1: added an introduction to Early Works, some BBC research by David Gibbs, Truth from Goldie's Saturnz Return, and the Japanese release of Best Of David Bowie.
v 6.9: updated information on the current status of the BBC 3CD set; added "Heroes" from The Bridge School Concerts Vol. 1, the From A Phoenix... The Ashes Shall Rise (Major Tom MT001/2) 2CD, mainly because of its inclusion of several rare 12" remixes and a long-rumoured 12 minute version of 'Ashes To Ashes' as bonus tracks), and the 'Perfect Day' and 'I Can't Read' CD-singles; corrected information on Strangers When We Meet promo-tape version; added the Contributions section; updated links to Pär's Video section.
v 6.8: for better reading now opens in Arial rather than Times; if not installed, Macintosh users get Helvetica, or see download instructions above [removed]. Improved interactivity by adding links to (stills from) video clips and live videos on the excellent Video section maintained by Pär Ståhle (on Bassman's Bowie Page) - thanks Pär. Added the 'Seven Years In Tibet' and 'I'm Afraid Of Americans' CD-singles; the free CDs offered with the German "Rolling Stone" and US "GQ" magazines, 'I Can't Read' from The Ice Storm soundtrack, 'Dead Man Walking' from the Conan O'Brien Live From 6A compilation, and concert data and a few new bootlegs from the Earthling tour.

v 6.7.1: added a "Pin-Ups Covers Medley" of original and Bowie versions as released on the Retro Rock (RR-83-41/42) promo 2LP; thanks again Eiichi!

v 6.0.1: incorporated two very interesting articles about Bowie outtakes from Record Collector, no.'s 207 and 208. Many thanks again to Dave Gibbs for sending photocopies.
