3-disc The Next Day Extra due for November release
“And another day”
It gives us much pleasure to announce details of a 3-disc version of David Bowie’s brilliant The Next Day album.
Called The Next Day Extra, the set includes the original 14-track CD, a 10-track CD of bonus tracks and a DVD of the four promotional films made for the album: Where Are We Now?, The Stars (Are Out Tonight), The Next Day and Valentine’s Day.
The 10-track bonus CD includes four previously unreleased tracks, two new mixes and God Bless The Girl, the track that was only released on the Japanese issue of The Next Day. The remaining three tracks gather up the bonus tracks from the deluxe version of the album.
The whole thing comes in a wonderful new Barnbrook package with a lyric booklet and a book of stills from the promo films. Scroll the image here to view a mock-up of the package.
In addition to the physical release of The Next Day Extra, there will be a 7-track digital EP bundle.
