All comments on the main site are highly appreciated. In very quiet periods the site does not need a frequent update. The problem with corrections posted in various topics are hard to find back. Yes, I know I should keep notes but... you know...

A request therefore is to post your corrections in this sticky. Of course a link to another thread suffices if the correction has been discussed on the forum.

Thanks!

Matt Day also mailed me an impressive list with corrections that I will include here, so they don't need to be reported anymore.

CRACKED ACTOR
This was on David Live, you do not mention this on the site

THE JEAN GENIE
You mention that this can be found on the Serious Moonlight DVD, of course this is not the case

MAGGIE'S FARM
You state on the site "A recording from Amsterdam, Paradiso, 24-05-89 (as featured on a Japanese TV special; released on Essential Equipment (M9189)) has frequently served as a video clip", this was not actually broadcast as part of the show but it does exist on a VHS Promo tape as the video for the song which was filmed at this concert.

MODERN LOVE
This is also on the Glass Spider DVD / 2CD set, this is not mentioned on the site

PRETTY THING
You state on the site "live on 89 tour" but it was also performed, this time by Tony Sales on the 1991/1992 tour

ROCK N ROLL SUICIDE
Bowie performed the first part of this song during the soundcheck only for the USA NBC Today Show (Summer Concerts') Broadcast 14.06.02
after a fan repeatedly kept shouting for it!!

WAITING FOR THE MAN
You have this track as being performed on the 1997/98 tours, as you know there was no tour in 1998

WAKE UP (5.43) / FIVE YEARS (3.46)
With Arcade Fire, there is no mention of the digital Live at Fashion Rocks EP release: Live EP (Live at Fashion Rocks), recorded in 2005 by Arcade Fire & David Bowie. They performed together on 8 September at Fashion Rocks 2005 in New York.

LIFE ON MARS (4.54)
Again from the above Fashion Rocks digital EP

That, and the Paradiso gig was on June, not May.

Yeah correct Maarten, nice one June is correct, will update my lists, cheers mate.

Link albums to vinyl discography rather than Evan's site.

Link singles to Chas's site.

Early Years
(RCA NL 89494), January 1987 (France)

package dated 1985.

Typo . The German card sleeve single cat# should be 869 574-2.

Hi there!

If Birthday Celebration is a bootleg, then Glass Spider Live ist too.
Shoudn't it be moved to the pirates section then?

i don't think it qualifies as a pirate release. it's either a bootleg or an unofficial but "semi-legal" release. this is why it gets considered as "grey area". fact is you could buy it through licensed retailers just like an official release. the label clearly has distribution even if it does so without authority and correct licensing. far too brazen and open to be called a bootleg operation in the traditional sense. who knows what their sources are...

Motte, I've been struggling with that as well. Currently, there are more doubtful issues filed under Albums. Even the early Santa Monica releases shouldn't be listed I guess, as only the 2008 edition is considered official.

Maybe a dedicated section would be a solution? Then again, which albums should be moved?

My thoughts on this subject:

Bootlegs:



Semi Official

Released through normal channels with either good, questionable or disputed publication rights and not sanctioned by Bowie.





























And perhaps I should also mention this breach of contract that was eventually resolved.

Pretty Pink Rose. the 4:16 promo edit/remix can also be found on the Spanish 7" promo single Atlantic 1.301 (i.e. not exclusively on the US promo CD single).
