Love to know what’s what…
As we told you last month (08/22/02 NEWS: FORMATS FOR ‘EVERYONE SAYS ‘HI” CD SINGLE) the ‘Everyone Says ‘Hi’? CD set is released this coming Monday here in the UK.
Available as three different CDs, this set collects together the extra tracks that were originally intended for the withdrawn ‘Slow Burn’ UK release, plus the previously unreleased ‘Heathen’ outtake, ‘Safe’, and ‘Baby Loves That Way’, another track from the unreleased ‘Toy’ album.
These CDs normally sell for much less than the RRP in the first week of release, which means if you’re quick you can get the set for far less than the price of an album… You’re also more likely to help the single chart, which means another TOTPs appearance if it does! In other words, get out there on Monday and buy what has to be the best set of Bowie bonus tracks in a long time!
If you didn’t already buy the European ‘Slow Burn’ single, imho, ‘Shadow Man’ alone is worth the price of this set. Here’s the final breakdown for each of the formats:
