Bowie Rare," a compilation album of rare songs that were not recorded on David Bowie's albums in the 1970s, was released on the RCA label in 1982 against his will, and it is said that he decided to move to EMI after this album. The album was never released on CD and became a collector's item.
The album contains a collection of rarities from the 70's, from the Italian version of "Spice Oddity" to unreleased songs from the Ziggy Stardust period (later included on the B-side of a single). The album also includes a German version of "Heroes" and "Crystal Japan," which was used in a Japanese TV commercial. The album is currently available on various compilation discs and box sets, but some of the tracks have been remastered and mixed differently from the original analog mixes.
In addition, 10 rare tracks that were not included in the original recording are also included as extras. This is also a revised and expanded version of the original recording, which is faithful to the original analog source.
The DVD includes a "Rare Video Collection" of recently discovered outtakes of "Life on Mars" and "John I'm Only Dancing" from the 1969 TV show "Space Oddity", the BBC's "Gene Genie", a live performance with Jeff Beck, a Christmas song with Bing Crosby, and a nostalgic commercial film from that time in Japan called "Crystal Japan". The DVD also includes a live performance with Jeff Beck, a Christmas song with Bing Crosby, a nostalgic Japanese commercial "Crystal Japan," and a re-recorded "Spice Oddity" from 1980, all in almost chronological order. The DVD also includes many videos that have never been included in any official DVDs.
