Background


The recordings which became ChangesNowBowie were initially recorded in 1996, in preparation for a BBC broadcast. At the time, Bowie was preparing for his 50th birthday concert, which would be celebrated on 9 January 1997, at Madison Square Garden, New York,[3] and it is from these rehearsals that the recordings were made.[4] The show took place a day after Bowie's fiftieth birthday, featuring a number of guests such as the Foo Fighters, Sonic Youth, and Lou Reed.[5]

The songs were initially broadcast, between segments of interviews not present on the release, on BBC Radio 1 on 8 January 1997,[6] Bowie's birthday. ChangesNowBowie marks the first official release of these recordings.[7]


Recording


The recordings took place at Looking Glass Studios,[7] New York, in 1996, and are mostly acoustic recordings of Bowie songs, with the exceptions of "White Light/White Heat" by The Velvet Underground and "Shopping For Girls" by Bowie's band, Tin Machine. Accompanying Bowie were Gail Ann Dorsey, Mark Plati, and Reeves Gabrels,[4] all of whom spent a significant amount of time working with Bowie across his career. Both Plati and Gabrels, along with Bowie, acted as producers of the tracks.
