“Sue(Or In a Season of Crime)” the new single from David Bowie taken from the forthcoming definitive collection of Bowie’s music NOTHING HAS CHANGED will be released on Columbia/Legacy on November 17th.
“Sue” was recorded this Summer in New York with the Maria Schneider Orchestra and produced by Bowie and Tony Visconti. Maria Schneider, who also arranged the track, has won numerous Grammys and is the leader of one of the best big bands in the USA. The song features Donny McCaslin as soloist on tenor saxophone and Ryan Keberle soloist on trombone. Bowie wrote the lyrics for “Sue” and collaborated on the music with Maria Schneider.
Jonathan Barnbrook who worked on THE NEXT DAY, HEATHEN and REALITY albums has designed the artwork for NOTHING HAS CHANGED, as shown above and below each format has its own specific sleeve. Of the artwork Barnbook says, “A different image appears on each use. The linking theme is Bowie looking in the mirror. Something which was a strong enough ‘archetype’ to provide an immediately identifiable visual link but make it clear this was a collection of songs through the experience of one persons life, not necessarily a specific concept or period of time as albums tend to be”.
NOTHING HAS CHANGED collects together for the first time the definitive collection of Bowie’s music from 1964 to 2014 and features some previously unreleased material as well as tracks making their debut on CD.
LET ME SLEEP BESIDE YOU was first released on THE WORLD OF DAVID BOWIE in 1970. In 2000, it was re-recorded for inclusion on the unreleased TOY album and has remained in the vaults until its inclusion on NOTHING HAS CHANGED.
SHADOW MAN is a famous still unreleased outtake from 1971, the version on NOTHING HAS CHANGED is a re-recording that was made for the unreleased TOY album and first appeared as a b-side on a swiftly deleted single in the early 2000s.
