The concept of the series of David Bowie boxes that began with »Five Years {1969-1973}« seems to be to collect all the (at the time) officially released recordings of a certain era – as a result there are no outtakes such as the bonustracks from the Ryko reissues. Of course completists and collectors have always complained about omissions, and with the latest set, »Brilliant Adventure {1992-2001}«, there’s plenty of stuff that (someway or another) had every right to be included.
Here’s what:
