Product description
International pressing of Bowie's Platinum Collection. The compilation features the cream of the material the star recorded between 1969 and 1987. David Bowie remains impossible to pigeonhole - first there was Ziggy Stardust, Aladdin Sane, a White Soul Boy and a Thin White Duke. He went on to invent synth-pop with Tony Visconti and Brian Eno and then disappeared behind the make-up of Pierrot when the New Romantics mixed all of his eras together. And then, he became a truly global megastar in the 80s. This collection contains four UK No. 1s, 15 Top 10, six Top 20 and 14 Top 75 hits; 338 weeks of UK chart history. But David Bowie could never be contained by statistics alone: any collection that contains Starman, the Jean Genie, Fame, 'Heroes', Sound and Vision, Ashes to Ashes, Under Pressure and Let's Dance spells it plainly - this is a collection of some of the greatest and best-known music of the 20th Century by one of it's very finest performers. 57 tracks in total. EMI. 2005.

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 January 2024I have always loved 'The Platinum Collection', it's so well put together showcasing Bowie's unique talent & artistry capturing perfectly his body of work over the period of 1969-87 with all the obvious classic stuff, plus with some lesser well known and interesting gems thrown in. Needless to say this three disc set is stacked full of gems. Anyway, got to thinking what with the recent remastering done for New Order's 'Substance '87', wouldn't it be great to have a fresh new remastering done for this? I think it deserves one. Disc 1 & Disc 2 (his 70s period) in particular need it because they only have a 1997 & 98 remaster on them.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 April 2021I already had The Singles Double CD Collection, released in 93. A great compilation however it didn’t include a couple of my favourite Bowie tunes such as Up The Hill Backwards, Cat People (Putting Out Fire) and Loving The Alien. This collection is a beautifully packaged, 3 disc collection which includes these tunes, all the tracks from The Singles Collection and B sides. A more comprehensive Singles Collection from the Great Man!
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 February 2013I have never been a big fan but have liked some of his singles. I saw this album on ofer and decided what the hell it's pretty cheap. My life has been full of bad decisions and buying this album was definitely not one of them! I cannot believe that I only thought of him as a "so so" artiste. On my MP3 player nearly all the tracks have so much depth and are so enjoyable. Why did I waste so much time not appreciating his music before? This will remain a mystery to me,but hey I can always listen to these tacks now.
If in doubt buy............ I said buy, you will not regret it
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 August 2023I've been wanting to get into David Bowie for years. The constant re-releases, remasters and box-sets have always kept the prices up on his albums. So, I never personally bothered and always looked else where. But now with the 1999 remasters being so cheap, I thought I'd finally bite the bullet. I bought this triple disc collection to determine which era of David Bowie I enjoyed the most.
I personally acquired this album on the marketplace for barely a fiver. It's made of three discs, all of which cover a different period. The first album is the glam stuff, you know the one. That Ziggy guy and those spider things. The second disc covers the post glam era, mainly soul and funk influenced music. The third disc is Bowie in full pretentious cheesy 80s mode.
My favourite of the three discs is by far the first. The early 70s rock really agrees with me and this is a really fantastic disc. It has all the big songs another person could want and it sounds really good. I enjoyed the second disc. It is a fair change in style but it's also got some cracking tunes. I wouldn't say it was as fun but it's still definitely a good collection. The third disc is where it gets a bit iffy with me. I really enjoyed the songs from Scary Monsters but a lot of really cheesy 80s stuff does nothing for me. I really don't want to hear Let's Dance ever again. I've grown up hearing that song and I still hate it.
I can see people like me getting a lot of value from this collection but I can't imagine it'd be of any worth to actual David Bowie fans, as I'd assume they own the actual albums already. That is unless they want all the single edits that are on the third disc. With that said, I got a great compilation for a fiver and it's got more than enough to do me. I got what I wanted out of the album and now I own a big chunk of the guy's back catalogue.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 January 2016First could I point out to all that Ralph Owens who gave this 1 star, seems to have confused a review with his personal opinion of David Bowie. Love him or hate him, this box set is still a 5-star collection and well put together, plus great value too! Why would you buy Bowie's greatest hits if you hate his music? Clearly Mr Owens is a bit special.
Second, Robbo who gave it 2 stars, seems to think this is a live album. It's quite obviously not, Robbo is clearly a bit special.
This collection is excellent, especially if you like Bowie and have none of his albums. Five special stars.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 March 2023Excellent
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 December 2012My car doesn't have a CD player (it has an iPod adaptor, and SD card slots, since you asked), so I haven't actually listened to this yet. But, we all know it's an absolute thunderbastard of an album. When I get round to listening to it, you can guarantee I'll like it. So why not buy it? That's what you have to ask yourselves. I'm sure you can afford it. I could, and i haven't even listened to it yet.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent collection, especially for newer fans.
This is an excellent encapsulation of Bowie's works.
I was never a big fan but there are a few songs that I wanted to add to my collection and this was a great way to get them, and so much more.
My disc arrived quicker than expected and plays flawlessly.
Cheers. 🥂

5.0 out of 5 stars Ultimative Bowie Kollektion.
Ich kannte lange nur den Soundtrack von Labyrinth der mir sehr gut gefällt und die bekannten wie China Girl und Let's Dance. Dann hörte ich The Man who sold the World in der 4 Staffel von Westworld und dachte jetzt hörst du dir mal den Rest an was er sonst so gemacht hat. Habe mich für diese Sammlung entschieden weil sie die meisten Lieder enthält. Gefällt mir sehr gut. Zu David Bowie selbst muss man sowieso nichts sagen der ist eine Legende.
