Three Cds of the best of Bowie from 1969 through to 1987. Astonishingly good value for money and a very good overview of the period. Of course fans will debate whether of not these songs truly are the Best, but as an introduction for the newcomer, or as a handy round up of the singles for the fan (and many of the single edits are different from the album versions) you can't really go wrong with this set.
The pacaking is minimal, and the slightly odd non chronological order doesn't work for me, but the individual tracks are all good and showcase the sheer breadth of talent that Bowie has. From the stright ahead rock of "The Jean Genie" to the shimmering funk of "Golden Years" to the European iciness of "Sound And Vision" to the glorious dance pop of "Let's Dance" and so much more, this is probably the best introduction to David Bowie there is.
