Update History
(from 21st September 2009 onwards)


19/11/2024 Added Spain 1978 Stage 2LP, US 1979 Peter and the Wolf black vinyl LP, Germany 1984 Tonight club edition LP, Germany 1989 Tin Machine Tin Machine club edition LP, Germany 1990 Changes club edition 2LP, EU 2020 King of the Net bootleg LP, EU 2024 Dutch Courage bootleg 2LP, Poland 2024 green and green/cream swirl vinyl David Bowie 2LP sets, and UK 2024 Isn't It Evening Earl Slick/David Bowie blue vinyl 7".
I also changed (and partly corrected) several entries of German club edition albums.
And I added several books to the Books & Links section: George Tremlett's The David Bowie Story (1st edition), Kev Gahan and Hannah Koelmeyer's Where's Bowie?, and John Robinson's Ultimate Record Collection - Bowie (three magazines).
01/09/2024 To begin with, I got some valuable information from Ruud Altenburg and Colin McIntyre (thanks!). Ruud's comments helped me to fix a lot of major and minor issues, and Colin put forward some convincing arguments why the UK "sax version" single of John, I'm Only Dancing was released in 1976 (instead of 1973).
I added UK 1969 Space Oddity 7" with different label designs on both sides, UK 1974 Diamond Dogs LP without Bewitched credits on side 1, Italy 1974 Rebel Rebel 1st issue 7", Belgium 1980 Scary Monsters LP, USA 1987 Never Let Me Down 12", UK 2020 Let's Dance blue vinyl LP, Germany 2024 Waiting in the Sky LP, Netherlands? 2024 Let's Spend the Night Together 6" single, Germany 2024 Diamond Dogs LP, Germany 2024 Diamond Dogs picture disc LP, Germany 2024 Rock'n'Roll Star! LP, Italy 2024 Rock'n'Roll Star! 5CD/DVD-audio, Italy 2024 The Archer green vinyl bootleg 2LP, Poland 2024 David Bowie green/clear marbled vinyl 2LP.
Replaced my copy of the Germany 1977 "Heroes" ("issue 2") LP by one with a mis-printed inner sleeve.
I added David Jeffrey Fletcher's David Robert Jones Bowie: The Discography of a Generalist, 1962-1964 and Thomas Kamp's The Wild Eyed Boy to the Books and Links section.
I also expanded the entries of the US counterfeits of the American The Man Who Sold the World LP, adding the (tentative) release year 1976.
I shifted the Russian (?) coloured vinyl pirate LP of Hours... from 1999 to 2000, and, more important, I shifted the John, I'm Only Dancing (UK, "sax version") single from 1973 to 1976 (see the entry for reasons).
Thinking about the John, I'm Only Dancing single inspired me to take a closer look at the publishing credits of my early UK singles. I expanded some of the entries and replaced the company sleeves of some issues of Life on Mars? and Starman by more appropriate ones.
And then I extended the entry of The Buzz's You're Holding Me Down in the Apocrypha section a bit. When you read old discographies, you can see how rumours develop...
28/03/2024 Added Italy 1978 David Bowie/Hunter "Heroes" promo-only 7", Germany 1987 Never Let Me Down club edition LP, Japan? 2015 The Man Who Play in Dublin picture disc pirate LP, 2019 ... But I Can't Trace Time blue vinyl bootleg LP, EU 2023 Come and Say Hello bootleg 2LP, EU 2024 Montreux Jazz Festival Volume One and Volume Two clear vinyl bootleg 2LP sets.
Added an appropriate magazine to my copy of the Record Mirror flexi.
Replaced my copy of UK 1972 Revelations various artists 3LP by a better copy.
I have also decided to shift around some of the South Korean pirate LPs, following information I've found on Discogs: I now list Space Oddity under 1974, and Ziggy Stardust - The Motion Picture under 1987. I also shifted the Thailand pirate EP Captain & Tenille to 1976 because some research on the other artists showed that it can't be a 1975 release.
I also shifted the Italian Fame single to October 1975 (Chas Pearson's website always leads to new insights).
25/12/2023 Added USA 1976 Subway (original issue) bootleg LP, Italy 1985 Montreal 1983 bootleg 4LP, USA 2016 Underworld various artists clear vinyl 2LP, EU 2018 The Marquee Club Rehearsals bootleg 2CD.
17/11/2023 Added Italy 1972 Starman 1st issue 7" (with brownish background), Italy 2023 An English Heathen in New York bootleg 4LP, EU 2023 Atlantic City - The Classic New Jersey Broadcast bootleg 2CD, Germany 2023 Pin Ups half-speed master LP.
I also added Robert Bruna's David Bowie - A Collector Discography book to the Books & Links section.
03/10/2023 Added Canada 1971 Hunky Dory 1st issue LP (with withdrawn back cover), Canada 1976 Space Oddity 7", UK 1979 Do Anything You Say/I Dig Everything 7"EP, UK 1980 The Laughing Gnome 7", Germany 2023 Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars - Original Soundtrack - 50th Anniversary Edition gold vinyl 2LP.
I also re-arranged the various versions of the above-mentioned Do Anything... EP in order to list the re-issues/re-pressings in more appropriate places.
16/06/2023 Added Japan 1975 Fame 7", Germany 1983 Let's Dance club edition LP, Germany 1983 Golden Years club edition LP, UK 2022 The Arsenio Hall Show E.P. 12", France 2023 Laughing with Liza 5x7".
I also corrected an embarrassing mistake: I originally wrote that the Serious Moonlight [Live '83] album from the Loving the Alien box set was entirely recorded in Montreal. That was wrong: with the exception of Modern Love it was recorded in Vancouver.
25/04/2023 Added Australia 1972 Hunky Dory LP, Belgium 1973 Coccinelle Varietes LP, Italy 1982 Christiana F. tan label LP, USA 1982 Royalty of Rock promo-only LP, Spain 1983 Golden Years (Años Dorados) LP, USA 1990 Off the Record Specials with Mary Turner promo-only 2LP, UK 2001 Hunky Dory LP, EU 2021 Station to Station red vinyl LP, Italy 2022 Live in Chile 1990 bootleg 2LP, EU 2022 Moonage Daydream 2CD, Italy 2022 Divine Symmetry 5CD/Blu-Ray, Germany 2023 A Divine Symmetry LP, Germany 2023 Moonage Daydream 3LP, Germany 2023 Aladdin Sane picture disc LP, Germany 2023 Aladdin Sane half-speed master LP.
I replaced my copy of the Spanish 1983 promo-only Amsterdam 7" by a better one.
I have finally decided to shift the German Hunky Dory album to January 1972, since I have found more evidence that the album wasn't released in late 1971 (see the entry for details).
I also added some release details to various German LPs from 1972 to 1973, and I shifted my counterfeit of the "Simply Vinyl" version of Space Oddity from 2000 to 2001.
Furthermore, I corrected numerous recording details in the entries of various bootlegs, to integrate the information from the Divine Symmetry box set.
And I corrected an embarrassing mistake in the index of singles (which had listed the Spanish Up the Hill Backwards single as a 12").
19/12/2022 Added Canada 1971? Hunky Dory LP, Germany 1972 Starman label mis-print 7", Netherlands 1981 Changes One alternative issue LP, Australia 1987 Tina Live Tina Turner LP, EU 2022 "Heroes" grey vinyl LP, Italy 2022 Never Get Old yellow vinyl bootleg 2LP, Italy 2022 Full American Bowie clear vinyl bootleg 2LP, EU 2022 The Next Day Extra EP LP, Germany 2022 David Bowie & Bing Crosby Peace on Earth/Little Drummer Boy pink vinyl 12".
I have also corrected an embarrassing typo in the entry of the Glass Spider Tour bootleg: of course that album is a single LP, but, as so often, I suppose you have realized that anyway.
I have added some information to the entry of the original German issue of Hunky Dory that supports the assumption that the album was actually released in 1972. However, for the time being, I've decided to list it under 1971.
I have also shifted the French compilation album David Bowie (Decca/Impact) from 1977 to 1983, since that is the most likely year of release.
15/10/2022 Added Italy 1973 Drive-In Saturday 7", Canada 1975 Golden Years 7", UK 1978 Stage yellow vinyl 2LP, UK 2022 Montreux Jazz Festival bootleg 2CD, EU 2022 In the White Room clear vinyl bootleg 2LP, EU 2022 Area 2 Festival white vinyl bootleg 2LP, and UK 2022 Transition - On Air 1967-'71 blue vinyl bootleg LP.
Replaced my copy of the 1973 France The Laughing Gnome 7" by a better one.
I also corrected an awkward mistake concerning the stock copy of the USA 1981 release of Under Pressure. For more than a decade I listed that single as a promo-only release in a company sleeve. But I guess you have realized that error anyway.
14/08/2022 Added France 1974 Rebel Rebel (alternative issue) 7", Japan 2011 David Bowie pirate picture disc of 1967 album LP, EU 2012 The Rise of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars (alternative issue) bootleg 2LP, EU 2017 Cleveland '72 white vinyl bootleg 2LP.
I also corrected some information concerning the exact release date of some records and an embarrassing mistake in the (so far) self-contradictory entry of the original German issue of Changes One.
25/07/2022 Added Italy 1977 Low LP, Spain 1978 El Rey del Gay-Power re-issue 2LP, Netherlands 1979 Rock Originals - The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust... LP, UK 1981 Aladdin Sane LP, Italy 2022 Utterly Pissed Off orange vinyl bootleg LP, Germany 2022 Ziggy Stardust picture disc LP, Germany 2022 Ziggy Stardust half-speed master LP, UK 2022 Changes Eno orange vinyl bootleg LP.
29/05/2022 Added Italy 1972 Starman juke box promo 7", Italy 1973 David Bowie/Antonello Venditti Life on Mars? juke box promo 7", Germany 1982 "Heroes" re-pressing 7", UK 1982 Baal alternative issue 7"EP, USA 1982 Cat People (Putting Out Fire) promo-only 12", France 1987 Day-In Day-Out promo-only 7" flexi, UK 2022 The Gouster bootleg 3 x 7", Germany 2022 Toy E.P. - You've Got It Made with All the Toys 10"LP, and Germany 2022 Brilliant Adventure EP 12".
14/04/2022 Added EU 2022 Tin Machine II turquoise vinyl Tin Machine LP.
I also added Michael Aldred (et al.)'s Bowie - Sternenstaub, Strahlenkanonen und Tagträume to the Books & Links section.
10/04/2022 Added Belgium 1982 Peace on Earth/Little Drummer Boy David Bowie & Bing Crosby 7", Germany 1990 Hunky Dory LP, EU 2016 New York's A Go-Go bootleg 2LP, EU 2019 David Bowie Paul Smith coloured vinyl LP, and EU 2022 Kingston Polytechnic 6 May, 1972 - In Concert bootleg 2LP.
09/03/2022 Added an appropriate inner sleeve to the counterfeit of the German The Man Who Sold the World LP.
Also added Germany 1982 Sorrow black label 7", Italy 1982 Cat People Franco Dani/David Bowie jukebox 7", Spain 1984 Tonight promo 7", Germany 1991 Baby Universal Tin Machine 7", UK 2016 The Man Who Sold the World yellow vinyl pirate LP, USA 2021 LA Forum '78 blue vinyl bootleg 2LP, Italy? 2021 Queen/David Bowie Live Aid - Wembley Stadium, London, England, 13 July 1985 white vinyl bootleg LP.
I also changed the entry of the obscure 1990 Tin Machine LP that I originally classified as a Russian pirate release, but which seems to be a legitimate Indian album.
26/01/2022 Added an appropriate picture sleeve to the Italian Life on Mars? promo 7".
Also added EU 2018 Glastonbury 2000 2CD/DVD, EU 2021 "Rockpalast" - June 22, 1996 bootleg 2LP/12", and EU 2022 Low orange vinyl LP.
09/01/2022 Added Mexico 1973 Aladdin Sane LP, USSR 19?? Join the Gang 6" "roentgenizdat" flexi, UK 2018 Thunder Ocean bootleg LP, UK 2018 No Sense of Destination Tin Machine blue vinyl bootleg LP, EU 2021 On My TVC 15 picture disc bootleg 2LP, Germany 2022 Hunky Dory picture disc LP, and Germany 2022 Toy 3 x 10"LP.

Replaced my copy of the 1972 Germany re-issue of The Man Who Sold the World by a more appropriate copy.
04/12/2021 Added Germany 1967 Informationsplatte Liste Oktober 1967 various artists promo-only LP, Germany 1973 Aladdin Sane club edition LP, Italy 1973 Life on Mars? orange label promo 7", Portugal 1980 Ashes to Ashes 7", Japan 1984 Tonight LP, UK 2018 Brazil 90 dark orange vinyl bootleg LP, UK 2019 The Tokyo Dome 1990 - Volume One orange vinyl bootleg LP, UK 2020 Changes Live clear vinyl bootleg LP, UK 2020 Standing in the Wind red vinyl bootleg LP.
I also shifted some information on German book and record clubs from the entry of the club edition of Scary Monsters to the entry of the above-mentioned version of Aladdin Sane, since it makes more sense to give it with the first listing of such a club LP.
I also added various cross-references to the album and single indices, since more and more items that were originally part of record sets are sold separately.
Finally, I shifted the original German issue of the Deram album from 1967 to January 1968. See the entry of the record for reasons.
04/11/2021 Added Yugoslavia 1972 Starman 7", France 1972 John, I'm Only Dancing 7", El Salvador 1975 Fame 7", El Salvador 1975 Golden Years 7", Germany 1990 David Live 2LP, France 2020 The Many Faces of David Bowie various artists 2LP, EU 2021 Station to Station white vinyl LP.

I added Michael Stimson's David Bowie Unofficial Records Valuation Guide 2020 to the Books and Links section, and changed some entries of bootlegs because of that. I also added John Robinson's The Archive Collection - Ultimate Record Collection: Bowie - Part 1: 1964-76 to the Books and Links section.
Finally, I corrected some minor inaccuracies in several entries.
03/09/2021 Added EU 2016 You Got to Have a Job bootleg 2LP, and 2020 UK Area 2 Festival bootleg CD.
I finally added the fantastic second edition of Marshall Jarman's (and Reto Stöcklin's) David Bowie - World 7" Records Discography 1964 - 1981 (thanks to Hanno for reminding me of the existence of this second edition) to the Books and Links section.
This lead me to going through the pages and revise/correct/update/expand some entries of the early singles. Most changes were just minor issues (like correcting the exact month of release of a 7" or pointing out that some issue has been clarified), but there were two major changes:
First, I revised my criterion for distinguishing original early 1970s Spain singles from 1978+ re-pressings. See the entry of the Spanish Starman single for details.
Second, I re-classified the USA 1969 first promo issue of Space Oddity with hand-scratched matrix numbers, which I had always considered to be a counterfeit, as a legitimate release. It still looks dubious to me, though...
I also went through Christian Frifelt's books on bootlegs again (and added a bit of criticism to the entry of his latest book, since some developments really bother me). I revised, corrected and extended the entries of numerous bootlegs, and shifted the old Black Sheep Boys Remixed bootleg from 1986 to 1985.
I also identified the source of some bootleg tracks that had previously been a mystery to me, namely Strangers When We Meet from Live. Inside, The Supermen from The London Tapes, and Amsterdam from Used Up and Empty.
This also lead me to re-writing my text on counterfeits, pirate releases and bootlegs. I wanted to make the distinction a bit clearer and added some further thoughts to it.
I took the time to go through the two price guide books by Darke, added comments to their entries and some information to the entries of several records. As so often, I discovered a number of inaccuracies and mistakes while doing so. For example, I shifted my Canadian Hunky Dory from 1971 to 1972, because I discovered that it was actually an export copy.
I checked the links in the Books and Links section to see if they still work. Much to my surprise, they all did! With one exception: I removed the link to the Mindwarppavilion website. It doesn't work anymore, I haven't been interested in torrents for many years, and torrents are not what this website is about, anyway.
Finally, I added some not particularly important books to the Books and Links section: the third edition of Paolo Hewitt's Retrospektive, Neil Cossar's David Bowie - I Was There, and Mike Evans's Bowie Treasures.
20/08/2021 Added UK 2020 Outside Tour - Live '95 bootleg LP, EU 2020 Live in Japan 1990 blue vinyl bootleg 3LP, Germany 2021 The Width of a Circle 10"EP, Germany 2021 The Width of a Circle 2CD, Germany 2021 The Man Who Sold the World picture disc LP, UK 2021 The Very Best - Live at the Montreal Forum 1983 - Serious Moonlight Tour bootleg picture disc LP.
I also changed the entry of the Ouvrez le Chien album to accommodate newer developments in Parlophone's release policy (and accordingly changed the number of "limited edition" copies in all entries of the Brilliant Live Adventures series).
Furthermore, I added some information to the entry of the Japan 2017 Lady Stardust picture disc single (counterfeit alarm!), and to the entry of the 2016 Lost Highway soundtrack.
29/04/2021 Added Germany 2021 Mother 7", Germany 2021 Look at the Moon 3LP, Czechia 2021 David Bowie LP, EU 2021 Unplugged and Slightly Phased bootleg 2LP, Germany 2021 Something in the Air 2LP, Germany 2021 At the Kit Kat Club 2LP, EU 2020 Brilliant Live Adventures box to the Ouvrez le Chien album.
I also corrected the release date of the Outside in Budapest vinyl bootleg and added Christian Frifelt's The Ultimate Illustrated Bowie Bootleg File 2 (2017-2020) - Vinyl Only! to the Books and Links section.
26/02/2021 Added Germany 2020 No Trendy Réchauffé 2LP, EU 2020 The Turning - Katie's Diary various artists LP, Germany 2021 David Bowie & Morrissey Cosmic Dancer 7", EU 2020 Outside in Budapest bootleg 2LP, Germany 2021 Liveandwell.com.
I also corrected and expanded the entry of the original Liveandwell.com album, and expanded the entry of the Metrobolist album.
30/11/2020 Added a third version of the Germany 1977 "Heroes" LP, and changed the entry of the first issue.
Added EU 2020 I'm Only Dancing (Soul Tour 74) 2LP, EU 2020 Changes Now LP, EU 2020 Ouvrez le Chien 2LP, EU 2020 Metrobolist LP, EU 2020 Young Americans gold vinyl LP, UK 2020 In the Beginning bootleg picture disc LP, Italy 2020 Sounds + Visions gold vinyl bootleg 2 x 10"LP.

28/08/2020 Added EU 2019 Diamond Dogs red vinyl LP, EU 2020 The Lost Sessions Vol. 1 bootleg 2LP, EU 2020 The Lost Sessions Vol. 2 bootleg 2LP, EU 2020 The Shape of Things to Come Episode 2 picture disc bootleg 7", and USA 2020 Let's Dance orange vinyl pirate 12".

Replaced the counterfeit cover of the US promo LP The Man Who Sold the World by an appropriate original cover.
Added Dave Thompson's Hallo Spaceboy to the Books and Links section.
I also corrected parts of the entry for the C'est la Vie 11LP set. I changed large parts of the entries of US issue of The Man Who Sold the World and its early counterfeits. And I added an article about the release year of the German issue of The Man Who Sold the World to the Explanations etc. section.
28/11/2019 Added 1993 David Bowie & Mick Jagger Dancing in the Street bootleg CD, EU 2019 Isolar II Tour 1978 bootleg 2LP, EU 2019 Just a Gigolo - The Original Soundtrack various artists LP, EU 2019 VH1 Storytellers 2LP, EU 2019 Japan 1992 - The Classic Budokan Broadcast Tin Machine bootleg 2LP, EU 2019 Small Club Broadcast - Paris Show 1999 bootleg 2LP, EU 2019 Space Oddity (2019 Mix) LP, EU 2019 Conversation Piece 5CD.

I also added the pictures for the UK 2016 counterfeit of the The Man Who Sold the World LP, which for some strange reason were missing up to now.

Added France 2019 The Many Faces of Iggy Pop Iggy Pop 2LP to the Contributions section.
I also corrected some information in the entry of the 40th Anniversary 2CD set of Bowie's Philips album and corrected the recording date for Bowie's Aladdin Sane version in numerous entries (or made it more precise, to be correct).
05/05/2019 Added EU 2018 Live in New York 1987 bootleg CD, UK 2018 Telecasts blue vinyl bootleg LP, Italy 2018 C'est la Vie - The Ultimate Rare Tracks 1964/2016 11LP, EU 2019 The Shape of Things to Come picture disc bootleg 7", EU 2019 Live 1983 bootleg 3LP, EU 2019 Spying through a Keyhole 4 x 7", EU 2019 The World of David Bowie LP, EU? 2019 Pin Ups picture disc LP, EU 2019 Songs from the Original Soundtrack Just a Gigolo 7".

12/03/2012 Major update!

After years of keeping this website alive at a very low level, I have finally decided to re-activate it and change a number of things. Here is a list of the most important changes:

1. Corrections
There were numerous mistakes in the former version of this website: simple typos and "copy-and-paste" errors that resulted in wrong tracklists, but also more serious errors. Don't ask me how I got the idea that there was a "single edit" of Diamond Dogs. I must have got lost among all the versions and edits...
In order to find out what is actually on my Bowie records I have listened to many of them very closely again, and, in some cases, compared songs very carefully. I was almost shocked to find out how much wrong information I had, especially about the contents of my bootlegs. I think that in most cases I have now listed the correct versions, recording dates, etc. I have also consulted various sources (see the
"Books and Links" section) to find out more about the release dates and the exact editions of the records in my collection. And, again, I found a lot of mis-datings and other mistakes to correct. This doesn't mean that everything is perfect here now - it will probably never be!
But it's much better and much more reliable than before.

2. Addition of information
First, I have finally added "collector's notes" to all entries for which it seemed useful to me. Second, I have added label scans for many records (and disc scans for most CDs) (see here for more on label designs). Sometimes I have also included scans of posters etc. And, finally, I have added internal links for easier reference between the entries.
The "Books and Links" section and the "Explanations" section (formerly "Abbreviations and Key to Entries") have been expanded, and I have added a "Contributions etc." section about records in the recording of which Bowie was involved, but which do not really fit into the main part. Those "apocrypha" (i.e. records which are incorrectly - or possibly incorrectly - associated with Bowie) that I have in my collection are also discussed there. Finally, there is a new "Contact/Personal" section, but there isn't much to see in it yet. I'll see what I'll do with it...

3. Design
I have retained the general concept of these pages, but changed some minor layout issues. The most important one is certainly the addition of more internal links. Note that current versions of the Firefox browser have a problem with the background image in the longer record lists. They don't show it in the lower part of the lists. You'll get a white background instead. There could be worse things...

4. Additions of records
I have also added a number of new items:
