Background

Reeves Gabrels, Bowie's guitarist throughout the 1990s and close creative partner up until a few years before Heathen was released, said that "Everyone Says 'Hi'" was the only song Bowie made after his departure that he heard "because someone told me that David wrote that for me. That made me cry."[1]

Four of the six

B-sides to this 3 CD set are re-recordings of some of Bowie's less familiar 1960s material that were intended for their own album release back in 2000, whilst "Safe" and "Wood Jackson" were new compositions, the former originally written but dropped from the soundtrack to The Rugrats Movie.[2]
