Bowie fans raging over new edition of The Next Day

DavidBowie.com presents a 3-disc version of David Bowie’s The Next Day album, called The Next Day Extra.
The Next Day album was first released in March 2013.
The Next Day Extra includes the original 14-track CD, a 10-track CD of bonus tracks and a DVD of the four promotional films made for the album: Where Are We Now?, The Stars (Are Out Tonight), The Next Day and Valentine’s Day.


The 10-track bonus CD includes four previously unreleased tracks, two new mixes and God Bless The Girl, the track that was only released on the Japanese issue of The Next Day. The remaining three tracks gather up the bonus tracks from the deluxe version of the album.

Tracklist for The Next Day Extra:
01 Atomica
02 Love Is Lost (Hello Steve Reich Mix by James Murphy for The DFA)
03 Plan
04 The Informer
05 Like A Rocket Man
06 Born In A UFO
07 I’d Rather Be High (Venetian Mix)
08 I’ll Take You There
09 God Bless The Girl
10 So She 


In addition to the physical release of The Next Day Extra, there will be a 7-track digital EP bundle featuring these tracks.

The news have raised several critical comments from fans on Facebook, of which we have chosen to citate a few: "Milking the customer cow", "Jeez, he sure does know how to make the most of his 'bonus material'." "I ordered The Next Day from Japan especially for exclusive bonus tracks, and now they are released in this expensive 3 disc box?" A few positive comments too: "If you don't want it you simply don't buy it and stick to your existing copy of a great album - or just buy the EP with the new tracks on it."
