Background

The recordings which

 became 

ChangesNowBowie 

were initially recorded

 in 1996, 

in preparation for a

 BBC broadcast.

 At the time, 

Bowie was preparing

 for his

 50th birthday concert, 

which would be 

celebrated on

  January 9th 1997, 

at Madison Square Garden, 

New York, 

and it is from 

these rehearsals

 that the recordings 

were made. 

The show took place

 a day after 

Bowie's fiftieth birthday, 

featuring a 

number of guests 

such as

 the Foo Fighters, 

Sonic Youth, 

and

 Lou Reed.

The songs were

 initially broadcast, 

between segments of

 interviews not present 

on the release, 

on 

BBC Radio 1 

on 

January 8th  1997, 

Bowie's birthday.

 ChangesNowBowie 

marks the first

 official release

 of these recordings.

Recording

The recordings took place at

 Looking Glass Studios,

New York, 

in 1996, 

and are mostly 

acoustic recordings 

of Bowie songs, 

with the exceptions of 

"White Light/White Heat"

 by

 The Velvet Underground

 and 

"Shopping for Girls" 

by Bowie's band, 

Tin Machine. 

Accompanying Bowie

 were

 Gail Ann Dorsey, 

Mark Plati, 

and 

Reeves Gabrels, 

all of whom spent a 

significant amount of time

 working with Bowie 

across his career. 

Both Plati and Gabrels, 

along with Bowie, 

acted as producers 

of the tracks.
