Today marks the 50th anniversary of David Bowies classic fourth studio album, HUNKY DORY,and to celebrateParlophone Records is proud to announce release details for two very special releases to mark the albums Golden Jubilee.

A streaming single CHANGES (2021 ALTERNATIVE MIX) is available now and has been mixed from the original multi tracks by HUNKYDORYproducerKen Scott. Of this new mix,Scott says “The new version of Changes is a fresh look at Davids classic. When listeningto the original multi-track I discovered a few things that I had eliminated from the original mix and also a completely different sax solo atthe end. It was those things that led me to try a new mix, trying for a slightly harder,more contemporary edge to it.

On 7th January, 2022, one day before Bowies 75th birthday and 50 years to the day since the U.K. release of CHANGESas a single,HUNKY DORY will be issued as a limited edition 50th anniversary picture disc, featuring the 2015 vinyl remaster and a poster featuringthe annotated back cover image of the album.

Although now widely acknowledged as one of the best albums of all time, HUNKY DORY didnt makeadent on the U.K. album chartsuponits 1971release. It wasn’t until August 1973 that it finally peaked in theU.K.top 5 in the wake of a reissue of LIFE ON MARS? following the 1972 release ofBowies breakthrough album THE RISE AND FALL OF ZIGGY STARDUST AND THE SPIDERS FROMMARS.
