detail on the sources -

01. from red vinyl bootleg single. The master is apparently lost, hence from an acetate source.
02. 1968 planned single, to be coupled with London Bye Ta Ta. The version on The Deram Anthology is mono. Taken from 'The World of David Bowie' (curly hair cover) 1970 LP.
03. From Dutch stereo single Philips 704 201 BW.
04-6 Arnold Corns singles tracks from 1971-2. All from the Krazy Kat 12" single from 1984.
07. Hunky Dory outtake, dropped in favour of Fill Your Heart. From bootleg EP.
08. From Space Oddity Maximillion EP released in 1975, Bowie's first UK number 1. Apparently this track was released against Bowie's wishes!
09. B side of Sorrow, apparently originally recorded 1971-2. Taken from French single RCA 41137
10. Not the impossibly rare Philips / Mercury single version, this is the Spiders' remake included on the B side of Diamond Dogs,
from the Lifetimes reissue single from the 80's.
11. B side of Drive In Saturday. Recorded circa 1972. This is from the Lifetimes reissue single from the 80's
12. 1972 single. This is from the Lifetimes reissue single from the 80's
13. Original 1972 single mix. Bowie is on record as saying that he was trying to capture "the sound of the Rolling Stones' first album" on this
, but that he thought he failed. This is from the Spanish 7", RCA 3-10825.
14. Aladdin Sane outtake allegedly, from bootleg EP.
15. I was once told that Sorrow was a slightly different mix on the single, then that many of the singles were 'slightly' different.
I have a keen ear but I'm not sure I hear any significant difference. This is from the Spanish 7", RCA APBO-9056
16. Original 1974 single mix. This is from the Lifetimes reissue single from the 80's
17. As noted, different from the Sound and Vision box set mix, far superior in my opinion.
18. This is from the Lifetimes reissue single from the 80's
19-23 From the Baal EP.
24. While this is not the "disco" / Young Americans version, included at the end to give a gap between the original and this very similar version - the acoustic guitar is heard in only one channel on the verses, instead of both.
