Celebrating David Bowie’s Birthday will be easy this year with remixed and reimagined versions of five of his albums being released by the Bowie Estate and a Giveaway from A Bowie Celebration and Licorice Pizza Records.
David Bowie was born on January 8, 1947. There are 26 studio albums released of Bowie’s extensive works. This celebration will be focusing on five of Bowie’s albums in particular Heathen, Reality, A Reality Tour (Live), The Next Day, and ★ (pronounced “Blackstar”). These albums have been remixed and reimagined exclusively in 360 Reality Audio by the David Bowie Estate. It features a new immersive music experience driven by Sony’s spatial sound technology. The content is the latest David Bowie music to be mixed in 360 Reality Audio, following Space Oddity, which is currently available on 360 Reality Audio-supported streaming platforms.
These albums are being released in conjunction with the ongoing Bowie 75 – an extended celebration of David Bowie’s 75th birthday featuring two physical pop up locations in NYC and London equipped with 360 Reality Audio listening experiences at each location. Longtime Bowie producer Tony Visconti has crafted 360 Reality Audio mixes of the albums and they will be available for streaming in 360 Reality Audio beginning January 21, 2022 on Amazon Music Unlimited, Deezer, and TIDAL.
A Bowie Celebration and Licorice Pizza Records are partnering to give away the ultimate David Bowie haul, as well as seven additional vinyl prizes, in honor of Saturday’s A Bowie Celebration livestream which will be taking place on January 8, 2021 in celebration of Bowie’s birthday and the 35th anniversary of Labyrinth.
