David Bowie - A New Career In A New Town

Project 


We were asked to undertake the creative direction for the third in the series of the 'Era Boxes'. A New Career In A New Town? (1977–1982) is a box set (CD and Vinyl) which covers David's "Berlin Trilogy". A follow-up to the 2016 compilation Who Can I Be Now? (1974–1976) ANCIANT covers the period of Bowie's career from 1977 to 1983 over eleven compact discs or thirteen LPs. 

 

Exclusive to the box sets are a "Heroes" EP, which compiles album and single versions of the song that were recorded in German and French, a new version of Lodger (1979), remixed by coproducer Tony Visconti, and Re:Call 3, a compilation of non-album singles, single versions, and B-sides that serves as a sequel to Re:Call 1 from Five Years and Re:Call 2 from Who Can I Be Now? and features the Baal EP (1982) in its entirety on CD for the first time. The box set also includes remastered editions of Low, "Heroes", Lodger (in original mix), Stage (in original and 2017 versions), and Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps).

 

The sets comes with a hardcover book with photographs by Anton Corbijn, Helmut Newton, Andrew Kent, Steve Schapiro, Duffy and many others, as well as historical press reviews and technical notes about the albums from producer Tony Visconti.
