Released 3/12/21
The 15-track live album, features 12 previously unissued recordings (outside of streaming) and three tracks used as B-sides for singles from the ‘hours…’ album. The day of the show was a momentous one for Bowie, as that afternoon he was awarded the Commandeurs of the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres, the highest artistic honour that France can bestow.
The Elysee Montmartre performance was one of only seven full shows performed during the promotion of the ‘hours…’ album. For this special limited run of gigs Bowie dug deep into his back catalogue making these shows particularly memorable. Standout tracks include ‘Can’t Help Thinking About Me’ first released in 1966 and not performed live in over 30 years, 'Word On A Wing' from Station To Station was reinstated into the set after an absence of 23 years, 'Drive-In Saturday' had not been performed since 1974, and ‘hours…’ track 'Something In The Air' made it’s live debut at this performance.
The album was recorded live at the Elysée Monmartre, mixed by Mark Plati, and features Page Hamilton - guitar, Gail Ann Dorsey - bass, vocals, Mark Plati – guitar, Sterling Campbell – drums, Mike Garson – piano, keyboards, synthesisers and Emm Gryner and Holly Palmer –backing vocals.

Weird development, since (as noted in passing above) the Rhino press release was sent out on Feb. 26 announcing that the CD and LP would be available March 12 — "available only via the David Bowie official store and Rhino.com."

You are right, there are going to be 6. Bad memory of the initial announcement.

Ok that's annoying. I got an e-mail announcing the CD coming out but when I clicked on it they didn't list the CD for sale - only apparel. Figured maybe I was too early. Had no idea the EU store and the Rhino shop had it, and of course it's now sold out. The US Bowie store STILL doesn't have it listed.
