Includes the latest remastered 2-CD set including the recording session of the album "Young Americans" released in 1975 by David Bowie aiming to conquer the United States. In addition, a new collector's edition that captures "Bowie in the American era" with a video DVD coupling that covers TV shows, promotions, live images, etc. from 1974 to 1975!


[Details]
The two-CD set started in 1974 at Sigma Sound Studios, the home of Philadelphia Soul, and the album was initially produced as "The Gouster", but then John Lennon participated and finally went to the album "Young Americans". It is a content that can be traced by the existing outtakes, alternate versions, and remix sound sources. Although the unreleased album "The Gouster" was recorded in the official box set, it was disappointing because there was no long-awaited session sound source or unreleased songs, but here the initial session was auctioned and its existence was confirmed. A part of the sound source of the recording "Sigma Reel" is also recorded. It is a compilation that can be said to be the longest content ever, including the first appearance sound source that has not been made into a CD so far. The DVD is a compilation of TV shows and live footage from the same period. In addition to the "Dick Cabet Show Complete Edition", the TV live on "Soul Train" and "Shale Show" was held in 1974 by Diamond Dogs American.・ The best video collection that fans must see by the high-quality master, including the valuable live video of the tour, the promo video of "Light" that captures Sigma Studio, and the TV commercials at that time. After making the first album in the United States that incorporates full-scale soul and funky music, "Fame" co-written with John Lennon challenged to conquer the United States in the mid-1970s, which became his first US number one single. It is the latest editing definitive edition that can not be overlooked by collectors who summarized Bowie's records.
