NO MATTER how many times this stuff is repackaged, re-released and reheard, most of it never stops being absolutely essential.
There are 57 tracks here on three CDs that cover pretty much every must-have Bowie moment.
Space Oddity, Life On Mars, Ziggy, Aladdin Sane, Changes, Ashes To Ashes, Young Americans, Let's Dance, well, you get the picture.
The real interest in sets like these is what value you get for your buck beyond the obvious stuff, and the good news is that here you get plenty.
Less well known prime period Bowie like Velvet Goldmine, his original take on All the Young Dudes, Look Back In Anger, TVC15, Drive In Saturday and The Prettiest Star all more than earn their keep alongside such an august tracklisting.
