Top 10: Best of the Best of Bowie

When David Bowie‘s Nothing Has Changed compilation came out in 2014, here at SDE we thought it would be interesting to look back at the proliferation of ‘greatest hits’ compilations that have hit the marketplace over the years. Bowie has certainly had his fair share and with the very sad news of his death, there will undoubtedly be more in the future. So here’s another opportunity to take a look at ten of them; the best of the best of Bowie, if you will…

Bowie’s Birthday

Many happy returns to David Bowie who was 69 yesterday. He’s looking great – even if I do miss his old teeth – and seems to be enjoying life as a recording artist who does no promotional work at all, save for making those spooky vids…
