David Bowie, born on 8 January 1947 in Brixton, London, England, UK and died on 10 January 2016 in Manhattan, New York City, USA at the age of 69. He was a British pop/rock singer, musician, songwriter, and actor. Bowie is widely regarded as one of the most respected contemporary musicians of his time and is considered to be one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century.Bowie's contributions to the music industry have made him a leading figure in popular culture. His innovative style and unique sound have left an indelible mark on generations of artists and fans alike. With his extensive discography spanning various genres and his iconic alter egos such as Ziggy Stardust and The Thin White Duke, Bowie's artistic vision continues to inspire and captivate audiences worldwide.

This week sees the 50th anniversary of the original U.K. release of The Man Who Sold The World, David Bowie’s landmark entry into the 1970s. The album not only began the collaboration with guitarist Mick Ronson that would continue with such Bowie classics as Hunky Dory, Ziggy Stardust and Aladdin Sane, it kicked off a 10-year run of indispensable albums stretching through 1980’s Scary Monsters.

The 2020 re-release of The Man Who Sold The World restored the album’s intended title Metrobolist, while featuring a new mix by original producer Tony Visconti. Taking its name from the album’s opening track, which was named after a painting by Bowie’s friend George Underwood, the new two-CD set The Width Of A Circle acts as a complementary piece to that album. Its 21 tracks feature non-album singles, a BBC In Concert l session, music for a TV play and further Visconti remixes wrapping up David’s recordings from 1970 and revealing the first sonic steps toward Hunky Dory.
