David Bowie: The Golden Years

David Bowie: The Golden Years chronicles Bowie s creative life during the 1970s, a decade that defined his career. This deep dive looks at the superstar's life and work in a year by year, month by month, day by day format, placing his works in their historical, personal and creative contexts.

The Golden Years accounts for every live performance: when and where and who played with him. It details every known recording: session details, who played in the studio, who produced the song, and when and how it was released. It covers every collaboration, including production and guest appearances.

It also highlights Bowie's film, stage and television appearances: Bowie brought his theatrical training into every performance and created a new form of rock spectacle. The book follows Bowie on his journeys across the countries that fired his imagination and inspired his greatest work, and includes a detailed discography documenting every Bowie recording during this period, including tracks he left in the vault. Many of these ended up on reissues and compilations, which are covered comprehensively.

The Golden Years is an invaluable addition to the Digital shelves of any true Bowie fan.
