Album Notes Although numerous David Bowie compilations have been released over the years, the three-disc PLATINUM COLLECTION is one of the most thorough overviews of the famously mercurial performer, spanning the years 1969 to 1987. While the first two discs here were previously available individually (covering '69-74 and '74-79, respectively), the third disc marks the debut of the '80-87 retrospective, a wildly eclectic offering that includes revered classics (the restless "Space Oddity" sequel, "Ashes to Ashes," and the pulsing "Fashion"), massive hits (the inescapable "Let's Dance" and the Queen collaboration "Under Pressure"), and rarities (the haunting Brecht/Weill number "Alabama Song" and the chiming "Underground," from the fantasy film LABYRINTH). This 57-track collection is ideal for those wanting to dive deeper than Bowie's celebrated singles. It's also a nice reminder of his avoidance of musical complacency and his insistence on pushing the boundaries of pop music. Editorial Reviews Mojo | |||||||||||||
Reviews  Among the best compilations ever released for BowieReview created: 03/04/08 by:  In short, this is the ultimate Bowie compilation. Spanning 20 odd years of his career, it's bursting at the seams with classics such as Starman, Alladin Sane, Heroes, and his later hits such as Ashes To Ashes. Failing to miss out any memorable tracks, and containing such rarities as Bowie's own versions of It's Hard To Be A Saint In The City, and All The Young Dudes, this is also highly collectable. All presented in a fabulous collectable case, and for £10.98 which got off ebay its 20 quid in HMV any true Bowie fan would simply be mad to miss a collection like this Top Tracks (My personal top 6) Ashes to Ashes Heroes Changes Starman Sound And Vision Life on Mars (an excruciating choice, there's so many classics here) In a nutshell: Quality: 10/10 Value: 10/10 OVERALL: 10/10 A timeless dedication to one of rock music's greatest artists Review ID: 10000000006453840 Was this review helpful?

Report this review THE MAN WHO.........IS AN ABSOLUTE HERO!Review created: 02/02/07 by: Looking through my vinyl collection recently i came across my old Bowie albums. I dusted them down and gave them a spin on my record player and had forgotten just how good the man really is. Most of the albums range from the sublime to the riddiculous,'Heroes' being a good example,cracking songs like the title track,yet side two being filled with weird instrumentals the result of being under the influence. I know,how about a collection of his best material on compact disc? Well,look no further than this 3 disc 'Platinum' collection jam packed with all his best work ranging from 1969 to 1974 on disc 1,74 to 79 on disc 2 and 1980 to 87 on disc 3. After studying the track listings on the other 'best of's'available from this artist,David Bowie 'The Platinum Collection' is the best out there. Review ID: 10000000002842362 Was this review helpful?
