DAVID BOWIE 6. I CANT GIVE EVERYTHING AWAY (2002 2016) is a thirteen-CD, eighteen-piece vinyl and standard digital download/streaming box set named after the closing track on (BLACKSTAR), Bowies final studio album. The box sets include newly remastered versions (except and No Plan), with input from Davids co-producer Tony Visconti.

2002s HEATHEN was the first album Bowie and Visconti had worked on together in twenty-two years. Recorded in a residential studio in upstate New York, it reminded Visconti of his time with David in Berlin in the 1970s, There was no control room. The console was at one end of the studio and the band was placed at the other end. The acoustics were quite live and from my experience of making Heroes at Hansa Studios in Berlin, in the huge Grand Hall (known as Meistersaal recording hall), I wanted to make these acoustics work for us. For the follow-up REALITY, released in 2003, Visconti recalls, David said he wanted to write for his new touring band, who would also record the album, giving the record a more Thrusty sound as Bowie put it at the time. That band then took to the road for A REALITY TOUR, one of the best-loved tours of Davids career, it is represented here for the first time in its re-sequenced order to better reflect the set lists of the Dublin shows. The vinyl version of the album is pressed in transparent blue, echoing its initial release.

After a decade away from the studio, the sessions for THE NEXT DAY happened in secret; Visconti says of that time, We vowed not to tell a soul that David and we were making a new album and that even included our domestic partners. His two-fold purpose was to write and create without pressure from the outside, plus he wanted its release to be a complete surprise. It all worked out great, except when he was spotted a few times walking to and from The Magic Shop studio in Noho, Manhattan, raising quizzical eyebrows. I was stopped once by a fan who recognised me and asked, Is David Bowie making a new album? I said, Absolutely not! Later, when we had rough mixes of our efforts, I was walking around Manhattan with a big smile on my face. No one could possibly know that I was listening to new Bowie songs on my earbuds. Those sessions produced so many songs that those additional tracks along with two remixes were included on THE NEXT DAY EXTRA.

(BLACKSTAR), Davids final studio album, was released on 8th January, 2016. Bowie and Visconti went to Donny McCaslins jazz quartet playing live in New York after working with him on the track Sue (Or In A Season Of Crime). Tony Visconti: Donnys quartet was no ordinary jazz band, they were super musicians at the same level as classical musicians in top symphony orchestras. David told me that this band, with Mark Guiliana drums, Tim Lefebvre bass, and Jason Lindner keyboards, will be the band for the recording of . Every one of the tracks for (BLACKSTAR) were each recorded in one day; Visconti recalls, The first song for the album began with Tis a Pity She Was a Whore, on 7th January. With a couple of rehearsals with David singing in the isolation booth, we were ready to go. Take one was perfect. We told Donny the take was fabulous. He thanked us and asked, Whats the next song? I forgot that jazz musicians are one-take experts. This was not a normal thing for people who make Rock and Pop music. It usually takes many hours to get that great take. Just to play it safe we asked for another take and Donny complied.

On Bowies birthday in 2017, the NO PLAN EP brought together the original songs written for Bowie’s Off-Broadway play, LAZARUS, including the titular Lazarus, No Plan, Killing A Little Time, and When I Met You, all recorded during the sessions for (BLACKSTAR).

Exclusive to each of the box sets are MONTREUX JAZZ FESTIVAL and RE:CALL 6. The former was recorded on the 18th of July 2002 at the prestigious Montreux Jazz Festival and among the 31 tracks features a full performance bar one song of one of Bowies most revered albums, LOW. RE:CALL 6 features 41 non-album / alternative versions / b-sides and soundtrack songs, including tracks never previously available on CD or vinyl over 3CDs and 4LPs.

The physical box sets accompanying book, 128 pages in the CD box and 84 in the vinyl set, feature previously unseen notes, drawings and handwritten lyrics from Bowie and photos by Sukita (who took the sets cover shot), Jimmy King, Frank W. Ockenfels 3, Markus Klinko, Mark Blammo Adams and more as well as memorabilia, technical notes about the albums from co-producer Tony Visconti and design notes from Jonathan Barnbrook.

The CD box set will include faithfully reproduced mini-vinyl versions of the original albums where applicable, and the CDs will be gold-coloured rather than the usual silver. The vinyl box set has the same content as the CD set and is pressed on audiophile quality 180g vinyl.
