It's definately one of the most recognisable songs of the Thin White Duke. "Golden Years" was originally released as a single in 1975, and in its full-length version in January the following year on the "Station to Station" album. During the making of both the single and the album Bowie was living a period when his cocaine addiction was at its peak. 36 years later a 'Golden Years' remix EP is released.As well as the original title track, the EP will feature four remixes by DJs Jeremy Sole, Anthony Valadez, Eric J Lawrence and Chris Douridas from US radio station KCRW.
Bowie will also make a 'Golden Years' iPhone app available on the same day that the EP is released. It has been created by 'Station To Station' producer Harry Maslin and will allow fans to remix their own version of the track.
KCRW are streaming a preview of the 'David Bowie Vs KCRW Golden Years' EP online at Blogs.kcrw.com.
