David Bowie’s final recordings to appear on Lazarus Cast Album

lazarus_cast

Features three songs recorded during Blackstar sessions

David Bowie‘s final studio recordings are to be included on the two-CD and vinyl editions of original cast recordings to his and Enda Walsh’s musical Lazarus.

Co-produced by Bowie and Tony Visconti and recorded with Donny McCaslin and his quartet, the same band that played on Bowie’s ★ (Blackstar) album, these last three songs — No Plan, Killing A Little Time, When I Met You — were already an integral part of the musical Lazarus, but David’s versions have remained unreleased until now. The original ★ version of the song Lazarus is also included on the cast album.

The cast recording album is therefore a two-CD set with the cast’s interpretations on the first disc and the David Bowie recordings on disc two. A ★ deluxe had been widely expected, but this format makes a lot of sense and of course means that fans aren’t buying the same album over again. I saw Michael C Hall perform Lazarus at the Mercury Awards in Hammersmith just last night and thought he was magnificent.

In addition there will be a three-LP version of this album. An exclusive version of this 3LP set is offered via the David Bowie Store with the third record pressed on white vinyl. The 3LP links below are all black vinyl. The exclusive version is limited to 3,000 units.

The UK opening of Lazarus is on 8 November, which is 11 months after it debuted in New York. This Cast Album with the new Bowie recordings is issued on 21 October 2016 via ISO / Columbia Records.
