A collection of great David Bowie deep cuts. For present purposes, deep cuts exclude any specific recording released as a single A-side (in original or time-edited format) or featured on the most prominent best-of compilations during Bowie’s lifetime. That necessarily excludes a lot. Remixes and live versions are fair game for inclusion, especially when markedly different from (or better than) other version(s).
