MIck Weller's site is one to watch.
Today I came across this, and I don't think I've seen the info before.
In 2015 there were plans to release a limited edition of Metrobolist - Nigel Reeve initiated this.
"Mid-2015 there was an idea initiated by Nigel Reeve working for Bowie’s record company to release a limited, signed Metrobolist album: a boxed vinyl recording of David’s nine songs with the American cartoon sleeve as it was conceived originally, speech bubble filled; opening to reveal a surreal Metrobolist6 gatefold photo story from out-of-time schooldays to Bowie 2015 via Keith MacMillan's 1970 Haddon Hall photoshoot. Same yellow US The Man Who Sold the World back cover with song lyrics and Blue Note Oh By Jingo cartoon trio sans Mercury logo."
