I Can't Give Everything Away (2002-2016) is the latest instalment in the acclaimed Bowie Box Set series. The 18 disc set includes newly remastered versions, with input from David’s co-producer Tony Visconti, of Bowie's four final studio albums Heathen, Reality, The Next Day, and (BLACKSTAR), alongside two box-set exclusive live albums, two EPs, and a box-set exclusive set of remixes and rarities from the era.

2002’s Heathen was the first album Bowie and Visconti had worked on together in twenty-two years. Recorded in a residential studio in upstate New York, it reminded Visconti of his time with David in Berlin in the 1970s, “There was no control room. The console was at one end of the studio and the band was placed at the other end. The acoustics were quite live and from my experience of making “Heroes” at Hansa Studios in Berlin, in the huge Grand Hall (known as Meistersaal recording hall), I wanted to make these acoustics work for us.”

For the follow-up Reality, released in 2003, Visconti recalls, “David said he wanted to write for his new touring band, who would also record the album”, giving the record a more “Thrusty” sound as Bowie put it at the time. That band then took to the road for A Reality Tour, one of the best-loved tours of David’s career, represented here for the first time in its re-sequenced order to better reflect the set lists of the Dublin shows. The vinyl version of the album is pressed in transparent blue, echoing its initial release.

After a decade away from the studio, the sessions for The Next Day happened in secret; Visconti says of that time, “We vowed not to tell a soul that David and we were making a new album – and that even included our domestic partners. His two-fold purpose was to write and create without pressure from the outside, plus he wanted its release to be a complete surprise." Those sessions produced so many songs that those additional tracks along with two remixes were included on The Next Day Extra EP. 

(BLACKSTAR), David’s final studio album, was released on January 8th, 2016. Bowie and Visconti went to Donny McCaslin’s jazz quartet playing live in New York after working with him on the track ‘Sue (Or In A Season Of Crime)’. Tony Visconti: “Donny’s quartet was no ordinary jazz band, they were super musicians at the same level as classical musicians in top symphony orchestras. David told me that this band, with Mark Guiliana – drums, Tim Lefebvre – bass, and Jason Lindner – keyboards, will be the band for the recording.”  Every one of the tracks for (BLACKSTAR) were each recorded in one day; Visconti recalls, “The first song for the album began with “’Tis a Pity She Was a Whore,” on 7th January. With a couple of rehearsals with David singing in the isolation booth, we were ready to go. Take one was perfect. We told Donny the take was fabulous. He thanked us and asked, “What’s the next song?” I forgot that jazz musicians are one-take experts. This was not a normal thing for people who make Rock and Pop music."

On Bowie’s birthday in 2017, the NO PLAN EP brought together the original songs written for Bowie's Off-Broadway play, LAZARUS, all recorded during the sessions for (BLACKSTAR).

Exclusive to each of the box sets are Montreaux Jazz Festival, recorded on the 18th of July 2002, and RE:CALL 6 featurinh 41 non-album / alternative versions / b-sides and soundtrack songs, including tracks never previously available on CD or vinyl.

The set also includes an 84pp book featuring previously unseen notes, drawings, and handwritten lyrics from Bowie alongside photos, memorabilia, technical notes about the albums from co-producer Tony Visconti, and design notes from Jonathan Barnbrook.
