David Bowie - 'hours.' Remix E.P (2024) [Official Digital Download 24/96]

20th September 2024 London - Parlophone Records is proud to announce a series of digital & video releases to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the David Bowie gold certified album 'hours…'.

Initially released on 21st September 1999, 'hours…' was Bowie’s 22nd studio album. He once more proved himself to be a trailblazer as it was the first by a major artist to be made available as a download.

The decision was incredibly controversial at the time, with some established retailers calling for a boycott and a withdrawal of all his albums from their shelves, which, of course, never happened. Speaking at the time, Bowie said, "I am hopeful that this small step will lead to greater steps by myself and others, ultimately giving consumers greater choices and easier access to the music they enjoy." As with so much of his work and expression, this quote envisioned the future with uncanny accuracy.

The album itself saw Bowie harken back to his early career with the 12-stringe acoustic guitar being at the forefront of key songs on the album, including 'Survive' and 'Seven', two of three singles released in the U.K. While David didn't undertake a tour for the album, he played a handful of intimate shows and several live TV performances.

To celebrate the 25th anniversary of 'hours…', Parlophone will release two digital EPs featuring four previously unreleased tracks.
