David Bowie / Nuevos box sets ‘Loving The Alien’ / 15LP o 11CD en octubre
Álbumes de los 80 remasterizados • versión 2018 de ‘Never Let Me Down’ • selección de remixes clave • dos álbumes en vivo • ‘Recall 4’ presenta singles / B-sides

Por cuarto año consecutivo, Parlophone Records lanzará un gran conjunto de cajas que resume una era en la vida musical de David Bowie. Este mes de octubre, Loving The Alien (1983-1988) presentará los tres álbumes solistas de Bowie del período en cuestión, y ofrecerá a los fans un montón de contenido adicional, incluyendo una “nueva producción” de Never Let Me Down de 1987, el primer lanzamiento de audio de la Serious Moonlight Tour y un álbum de remixes.

El nuevo conjunto de cajas Loving The Alien llega en un box set de vinilo de 15LP o en uno de 11CD. Cuenta con versiones recientemente remasterizadas de Let’s Dance (1983), Tonight (1984) y Never Let Me Down (1987).

La versión de vinilo 11CD de Loving The Alien:

Como antes, ambos boxes vienen con un libro de acompañamiento (128 páginas en el CD y 84 en el vinilo) que contará con fotos raramente vistas y sin publicar previamente de fotógrafos como Denis O’ Regan, Greg Gorman, Herb Ritts y muchos otros junto a reseñas de prensa históricas y notas técnicas sobre los álbumes de los productores / ingenieros Nile Rodgers, Hugh Padgham, Mario McNulty y Justin Shirley-Smith.

El set de caja 11CD ofrece las siempre excelentes versiones de réplica de vinilo ‘mini-LP CD’ de estilo japonés de los álbumes originales (los CDs volverán a ser de color dorado). El conjunto de 15LP está presionado en vinilo de calidad 180g ‘audiophile’.

Ambas ediciones de Loving The Alien se lanzan el 12 de octubre de 2018. Veremos que opinan los fans ya que anteriores de estos boxes que engloban etapas del Duque Blanco han sido bastante criticadas por el sonido de las nuevas mezclas, fundamentalmente las de “A New Career In A New Town (1977-1982)
