Ashes To Ashes/Dancing In The Street.

Numbered Spanish promo for the 1997 reissue of the Singles Collection.

Looking For Satellites (Edit)/Seven Years In Tibet (Edit)/I'm Afraid Of Americans (Edit).

The Edit of 'Looking For Satellites' is unique to this promo.

Same tracks as on The Best Of Bowie 1969/1974.

Distributed to subscribers of BowieNet. To play the exclusive track 'Fun', one has to log-in first. This HyperCD also contains videos of 'Under Pressure' and 'Space Oddity', recorded at Bowie's 50th birthday concert in New York, Madison Square Garden, 09-01-97.

This advance copy is more interesting than EMI CDPP 029 promo, as it differs from the stock release in having the single edits of 'John I'm Only Dancing (Again)' and 'DJ' rather than the album versions.

This promo features the full-length bilingual versions of 'Helden' and 'Héros', but they have been sourced from vinyl.

A promo CD for Dutch radio, with a commercial spoken by Bowie, an interview with Dutch actor Thom Hoffman and three edits of an instrumental version of 'No Control'.

Four years after the BBC Session 1969-1972 [Sampler], this EMI promo really introduced upcoming Bowie At The Beeb CD. It is stylishly packaged in a box, both the cover and CD resembling a reel-to-reel tape. See Bowie At The Beeb for a one-track replacement disc (EMI BEEBREP 2) containing the missing version of 'Ziggy Stardust'.

Music publishers collect the royalty payments due to songwriters and composers and promote their compositions to other recording artists, the entertainment industry and other public performance organisations. These two discs (1CD and 2CD editions) are examples of the made-to-order CDRs used to promote Bowie's compositions controlled by the Chrysalis Music Group in the USA. Early examples have paper labels on the discs and later examples use white faced printable discs. As they rarely appear for sale, we can't know how the track lists and artwork vary from disc to disc.

A rather strange CD credited to David Bowie/Reeves Gabrels. A "mood indicator" (Happy, Dark, Romantic, etc) sticker on the jewel case suggests this CD may have been pressed to stimulate the use of these Outside, Earthling, and hours... tracks as backing music for documentaries.

The Wedding/Wild Is The Wind/Loving The Alien/As The World Falls Down/Abdulmajid.

"This compilation of Bowie tracks was hand selected by David to celebrate Iman's new book", according to the liner notes. A promo CDR (with stickered label) accompanying the first print of "I Am Iman". Approximately 200 copies were signed by Bowie.

Slow Burn/Everyone Says 'Hi'/I Took A Trip On A Gemini Spaceship/Sunday (Moby Remix).

Although the sleeve times 'Sunday' at 5'10", this sampler actually contains a 3'09" edit of the Moby Remix.

Space Oddity/Life On Mars/The Jean Genie/"Heroes"/Under Pressure/Let's Dance.

The US promo (Virgin 70876 17558-2-4; bottom) contains Space Oddity/Fame/Golden Years/Let's Dance/I'm Afraid of Americans (V1).

Full album promo in slimline case.

A 3-track CDR sampler (bottom), featuring Let's Dance (Trifactor vs Deeper Substance Remix)/Let's Dance (Club Bolly Extended Mix)/The Scumfrog vs David Bowie: This Is Not America.

Also see this in-house promo with an unreleased Metrophonic Remix of 'Starman'.

Black Tie White Noise (US Radio Mix)/I Know It's Gonna Happen Someday/The Wedding Song/Nite Flights (Back To Basics Remix Edit).

Promo CDR (no catalogue number) for the 2CD+DVD reissue. The inclusion of the last track is a bit odd, as it's not included on the Black Tie White Noise reissue but on the 4CD re-release of Sound + Vision.

Changes/London Bye Ta-Ta/Sound And Vision/Be My Wife/Boys Keep Swinging/Modern Love/Blue Jean/Jump They Say.

Promo CDR (no catalogue number) for the Sound + Vision 4CD reissue.

Let's Dance (Club Bolly Extended Mix)/Let's Dance (Bolly Clubmix).

Promoting the 2003 US reissue of Best Of Bowie.

Go Home Productions Promo Mix/I'm Afraid Of Making Plans For Americans/Fame (Go Home Productions Remix).

The Promo Mix contains 1'50" of 'David X', a mashup of 'Let's Dance' with the vocals of Liberty X 'Got To Have Your Love'.

Fascination/I've Been Waiting For You/I'm Deranged/Don't Let Me Down And Down/Abdulmajid.

Comparable to the I Am Iman promo, but this is a factory pressed disc (without a catalogue number) rather than a CDR.

The Jean Genie/Space Oddity/Fame/"Heroes"/Let's Dance/Ashes To Ashes.

In card sleeve.

Wish You Were Here/The Blue (featuring Crosby & Nash)/Comfortably Numb (featuring David Bowie).

There are two promos for the David Gilmour DVD Remember That Night containing 'Comfortably Numb', which is otherwise unavailable on CD. Besides the 3-track mentioned above, there's a US 5-track (Columbia 88697 14335 2; bottom), containing Wish You Were Here/On An Island (featuring Crosby & Nash)/Comfortably Numb (featuring David Bowie)/Shine On You Crazy Diamond (featuring Crosby & Nash)/The Blue (featuring Crosby & Nash).

Strangers When We Meet/Hallo Spaceboy (Lost In Space Mix)/I'm Afraif Of Americans/V-2 Schneider (TAO Jones Index)/Thursday's Child/Seven (Demo Version)/Slow Burn/You've Got A Habit Of Leaving/New Killer Star/Rebel Never Gets Old (Radio Mix).

A sampler for the Limited Edition Boxset, featuring a track from each album and its bonus disc.

Falling Down/Fanning Street.

This promo contains the two songs with contributions from David. A second promo only contains 'Falling Down'. Both do not have a dedicated catalogue number.

This advance promo CDR is worth mentioning as it contains an uncompressed mix that many prefer to the end product. The tracks, however, each are separated by a couple of seconds of silence.
