El año pasado, para celebrar los 50 años de David Bowie con The Man Who Sold the World, Parlophone Records reeditó el álbum bajo su título original Metrobolist. Ahora, Parlophone ha anunciado un lanzamiento complementario expansivo con 21 pistas inéditas de esa época.
Titulado The Width of a Circle, el conjunto de dos discos comprende singles que no pertenecen al álbum, una sesión de BBC In Concert, música para una obra de televisión llamada Pierrot in Turquoise (también conocida como The Looking Glass Murders) y remezclas del socio de Bowie desde hace mucho tiempo, Tony Visconti. Vea la lista de canciones completa, incluidas las notas de la línea, a continuación.
The Width of a Circle saldrá el 28 de mayo. También ese día, Parlophone lanzará una versión en disco de imágenes de The Man Who Sold the World. Los pedidos anticipados ahora están en curso.
