I wish they’d do that with Low…

I’m not sure I’ll live long enough to see Low given that we are only at 1972.
It would be interesting to hear what they have for that era - the work Bowie and Buckmaster did on The Man Who Fell To Earth soundtrack.

I have 3 Vinyl copies including the 50th Anniversary Half Speed Remaster and an Original 1st Press, plus the 50th Anniversary Live CD & Blu Ray. That’s a lot of investment in one 38 minute and 29 seconds album…

Where’s that from Andy?

I was hoping that this thread would be about the Byrds track, with screaming Beatles (?) fans included in the mix.
Can’t imagine there will be another remaster - after all we had the half speed remaster last year and the Five Years box set (2012 remaster) in 2015 so maybe one of those might be included.
There is also the “Waiting in the Sky” version that is coming out on Record Store Day in April so maybe that will be be added too - and while they are at it why not throw in the Motion Picture Soundtrack as well!!
Unless Visconti has done a remix? There is usually a live gig included as well. Intriguing!!

Someone seems to have the inside track over on the Hoffman forum.
The Byrds track is “ So You Want to Be a Rock ‘n’ Roll Star”.
You’re correct, but any Byrds fan will know the song and will know what I meant, so I feel no need to correct or amend anything at all.
But your attention to detail is truly astounding!

Background info from the Bowie official website - tracklist as above from Andy - @Richard.Dane I assume it’s ok to post this background info, can’t see anything in the forum rules preventing it, if there is then my apologies.
"Parlophone Records proudly announces DAVID BOWIE ROCK ‘N’ ROLL STAR!, a 5CD and 1 Blu-Ray Audio set that explores David Bowie’s journey from February 1971 through the creation of the Ziggy Stardust character, the recording of the iconic THE RISE AND FALL OF ZIGGY STARDUST AND THE SPIDERS FROM MARS album, and captures the international mania that surrounded the Ziggy phenomenon in the form of UK radio sessions and TV performances, as well as live tracks from Ziggy and the Spiders’ 1st October 1972 show at the Boston Music Hall.
ROCK ‘N’ ROLL STAR!, containing 29 unreleased tracks, covers early songwriting demos, recordings from David’s studio creation, The Arnold Corns, rehearsals at Bowie’s then-home, Haddon Hall, BBC sessions, singles, live performances, plus outtakes and alternative versions from the original album recording sessions, which have been newly mixed by original album producer, Ken Scott.
Unreleased highlights include an alternative version of ‘Lady Stardust’, a version of the deep-cut classic ‘Shadow Man’ and an up-tempo take of The Who’s ‘I Can’t Explain’, which he would later slow down and cover for the PIN UPS album.
The audio-only Blu-Ray disc features the definitive 2012 remaster of the original Ziggy Stardust album in 96kHz/24bit PCM stereo, plus the album and additional mixes from 2003 in DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 as well as the singles, outtakes and alternative versions in 96kHz/24 bit PCM stereo.
The Blu-Ray also includes a version of the ZIGGY STARDUST album called WAITING IN THE SKY (BEFORE THE STARMAN CAME TO EARTH) taken from Trident Studio tapes dated 15th December 1971, which features an alternative running order and four songs that didn’t make the final album. This will also be available as a limited vinyl LP on 20th April, 2024 for Record Store Day. In addition, there is a 1-LP version of ROCK ‘N’ ROLL STAR! compiling the alternative takes and mixes.
ROCK ‘N’ ROLL STAR! also contains two books. The first is an extensive 112-page book with detailed liner notes, memorabilia, contemporary reviews and articles, rare photographs from Barrie Wentzel, Michael Putland, Mick Rock, Sukita and Alec Byrne, as well as brand-new notes and interviews with Ken Scott, Mark Carr Pritchett and David’s plugger from the time, Anya Wilson. Accompanying the main book is a 36-page compiled reproduction of David’s personal Ziggy Stardust era notebooks.
The first track taken from ROCK ‘N’ ROLL STAR! is ‘ZIGGY STARDUST’ (DEMO)’ recorded by Bowie on vocal and acoustic guitar in 1971 at Haddon Hall in Beckenham.

It’s a bit ‘meh’, most stuff available before, albeit as bootlegs.
What hardcore fans wanted was a new full concert recording, RCA recorded gigs across the states and whilst some audience recordings exist they’re not perfect, Boston etc.
Even so. I will be purchasing it once the silly price drops. The vinyl is a no brainer at £25, hopefully it’ll sound ok🤞
Agree @TheKevster , Low, StS etc period is whats needed as well as the full Earls Court ‘78 concert in bluray!
