RarestOneBowie
RarestOneBowie is a David Bowie compilation released in 1995, with a UK and European release in May of that year on Trident Music International. It gathers material under the title's promise of rarities, though the facts here stop short of a track listing, so it is best approached as a curiosity rather than a core Bowie record.
It belongs to a run of mid-nineties releases from MainMan, the management company that looked after Bowie in the seventies. Others in the series included Santa Monica '72 and the Ava Cherry & The Astronettes album People from Bad Homes. Bowie did not approve any of them, and all are now out of print. For collectors tracing the odd corners of his catalogue, it is a footnote worth knowing about, sitting well away from the studio albums.
