Bowie Tracks On Three New Compilations

Wake up you sleepy head…

As I’ve said before, (05.17.2005 NEWS: BOWIE TRACKS ON THREE COMPILATIONS THIS MONTH) this is not so much news, more a service for completists, as I know there are a small band of collectors out there that must have every David Bowie release, even if it may not seem essential to the majority of you.

Having said that, the first of these three, Ian Dempsey’s Kick Start, (actually released at the tail end of last month on October 28th) certainly couldn’t be described as insignificant.

This double CD of “40 crackin’ tracks to get you up and out!” was compiled from requests by Today FM Breakfast Show listeners and contains David Bowie’s The Jean Genie. All profits from the sale of the album will be donated to the Go! campaign for Special Olympics Ireland.

You can view the full tracklisting and purchase the album here. The midweek chart suggests that Ian Dempsey’s Kick Start will enter the Irish charts at #1.

The other two CDs are released by Virgin TV who have cornered the market with these compilations. (See aforementioned news story) Released next week on November 7th, School Reunion – the Party is a 62-track triple CD which contains Modern Love, and released the following week on the 14th is Capital Gold – Platinum Legends, a 63-track triple CD which contains Life On Mars?
