Parlophone has announced a new David Bowie box set, "Loving The Alien" that will be released on 12th October.
The massive box set includes many mid-'80s Bowie recordings as well as a brand new production of Never Let Me Down (1987), produced by Mario McNulty with a guest cameo by Laurie Anderson on "Shining Star (Makin' My Love)".

It will also feature newly remastered songs from "Let's Dance", "Tonight", "Never Let Me Down (Original & 2018 versions)", "Glass Spider (Live in Montreal '87)" and never-released-before "Serious Moonlight" live album, a collection of original remixes and an alternate/b-sides and soundtrack compilation "RE:CALL 4".
