Nothing Has Changed
Nothing Has Changed (stylised as Nothing has changed.) is a compilation album by the English musician David Bowie. It was released on 18 November 2014 through Parlophone in the United Kingdom, and Columbia Records and Legacy Recordings in the United States. The album was released in four formats: a triple CD version (sequenced in reverse chronological order), a double CD version (sequenced in chronological order), a double LP version, and a single CD version released exclusive to select countries.
It is the first album to showcase Bowie's entire career up to that point, from his first single "Liza Jane" in 1964 to "Sue (Or in a Season of Crime)", a new composition recorded specifically for the compilation. The different formats of the album all offer different tracks and mixes compared to the others. The three-disc version includes the most, such as songs from Bowie's unreleased 2001 album Toy. The collection also contains numerous discrepancies in its track listings. Its title comes from a lyric in the song "Sunday" from Bowie's 2002 album Heathen. Each of the different formats feature different cover artworks, all designed by Jonathan Barnbrook and all depicting Bowie examining himself in a mirror.
Upon its release, the album debuted at number nine in the UK, becoming Bowie's 29th top 10 album. Following Bowie's death in 2016, it went on to peak at number five in the UK and charted in other countries. It has been certified Gold by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) in the UK. The three-disc version of Nothing Has Changed received critical acclaim, with many praising its reverse sequencing as offering a different way to enjoy the artist's career. However, it attracted criticism for its exclusion of Bowie's Tin Machine period, as well as its under-representation of the Berlin Trilogy (1977–1979). Nevertheless, it is considered one of Bowie's best compilation albums.
A revised version of the two-disc Nothing Has Changed, re-titled Legacy, was released on 11 November 2016 and includes selections from his final album Blackstar (2016).
On 9 September 2014, an announcement was posted on Bowie's website and Facebook page: "It is with much pleasure that we can exclusively announce a career-spanning collection of Bowie's music covering fifty years of recorded works from his 1964 debut, 'Liza Jane', through to a brand new recording made this year. Nothing Has Changed compiles tracks from every period of Bowie's career and features new single; 'Sue (Or in a Season of Crime)', which was specially recorded for the compilation with long-term collaborator Tony Visconti." The album's title comes from a lyric in the song "Sunday" from Bowie's 2002 album Heathen.
The different formats of Nothing Has Changed all offer different tracks and mixes compared to the others. The three-disc version includes songs from Bowie's unreleased 2001 album Toy: "Your Turn to Drive", previously a download-only single, and a previously unreleased re-recorded version of "Let Me Sleep Beside You", as well as the 2003 Ken Scott mix of "Life on Mars?", the 2007 Tony Visconti mix single edit of "Young Americans", the 2010 Harry Maslin mix of "Wild is the Wind", the stereo mix of "All the Young Dudes", and the 4:08 radio edit of "Love Is Lost (Hello Steve Reich mix)" (the last two of which are also included on the two-disc version). All formats contain what biographer Nicholas Pegg calls the "loud" single mix of "Starman", while the one- and two-disc versions contains the 4:46 promotional edit of "Absolute Beginners".
However, the compilation also contains numerous discrepancies in its track listings. The 'UK stereo mix' of "Space Oddity" found on the vinyl and one-disc versions is actually a new edit sourced from the 2015 remaster (Pegg also notes that the song was recorded in mono). The version of "Diamond Dogs" is a new edit containing both a fade-in and an early fade-out, while "Ziggy Stardust" edits out the final guitar notes. The track listed as "Fashion (single version)" is not in fact the original single edit and has been incorrectly re-edited. The versions of "Under Pressure", "Dancing in the Street" and "Buddha of Suburbia" are the original single versions but are not listed as such. "Silly Boy Blue", track 18 on disc 3, is incorrectly listed as being from David Bowie (1969) but is actually from his previous self-titled album, David Bowie (1967). Pegg further notes that Bowie's Tin Machine period is completely absent from the compilation, his Berlin Trilogy is only represented by one track per album, and there is a huge absence of live recordings.
Nothing Has Changed was released on 18 November 2014 through Parlophone in the United Kingdom, and Columbia Records and Legacy Recordings in the United States. The album was released in four formats: a triple CD version (sequenced in reverse chronological order), a double CD version (sequenced in chronological order), a double LP version, and a single CD version released exclusive to select countries.
