And my new CD makes three…
As exclusively revealed on a Queen fansite back in March, (Grrrrr) David Bowie is the latest EMI artist to receive the triple CD Platinum Collection treatment.
The 3 CDs (which are normally housed in a slipcase) comprise the previously released The Best Of David Bowie 1969/1974 and 1974/1979, along with the newly compiled The Best Of David Bowie 1980/1987.

Due in October, the 57-track David Bowie – The Platinum Collection will be a great low-priced starting point for those just beginning to appreciate the work of the former Glam Rock God.
