“I can’t give everything away…”

Such was David Bowie’s assertion on the closing track of his final album. And yet, in a career that spanned more than half a century, this consummate artist gave us more than enough. In this second instalment of Record Collector Presents… Bowie, we look at the innovations that he made throughout the years 1981 to 2016 and challenge the notion that Bowie went from leader to follower in the latter part of his career.

Through all-new interviews with key collaborators such as Carlos Alomar, Mike Garson, Gerry Leonard, Donny McCaslin, Henry Hey and Jonathan Barnbrook, plus in-depth reviews of every album that Bowie released during this period, explorations of his work as a painter and an actor, and an investigation of his pioneering use of the internet, we reveal just how Bowie managed to stay ahead of himself at every turn. Add an eight-page discography packed with rarities, and you’ll discover just why his legacy continues to enthral.
