デヴィッド・ボウイさんのインスタグラム写真 - (デヴィッド・ボウイInstagram)「DAILY BOWIE THING – Day 77 “All things must pass...” A couple of days ago (Day 75) we posted about the Bowie RCA reel-to-reel format. Considering those Bowie tapes were only issued during the years 1972/73, it’s no surprise that almost fifty years later many of you were completely unaware of their existence. Today’s #DailyBowieThing could be another format considered redundant these days and it certainly won’t be the last we look at that would fit that category. It’s the MiniDisc (MD), a magneto-optical disc-based data storage format (it says here), that had a troubled history in the music world. Despite being recordable and very portable, it was finally killed off by the advent of the iPod and other more convenient ways of listening to digital music. There were four Bowie releases on MD that we are aware of: Ziggy Stardust, ChangesBowie, 'hours...' and Heathen. Heathen (2002) is by far the rarest of these and it turns up so rarely, one wonders if it was actually withdrawn. As if that wasn’t enough, completists will be distressed to learn that there are two slightly different versions of it too. Our montage shows an image from Markus Klinko’s Heathen session along with one of the Heathen MDs (originally housed in a cassette type plastic shell with artwork and notes) and a signed Heathen promo postcard for the hell of it.

MiniDiscs are smaller than CDs and David Bowie was much bigger than CDs. #DailyBowieThing #BowieMiniDisc #BowieHeathen」1月22日 12時19分
