A new compilation of rare David Bowie material the artist recorded in 1970 is on the way. Named for The Man Who Sold the World’s opening cut, The Width of a Circle is being billed as a companion piece to that album’s 2020 “Metrobolist” reissue, featuring non-LP singles, alternate versions, and BBC sessions, including 21 never-before-released recordings.

More specifically, the two-CD set includes David Bowie and The Hype live performances from early 1970 — The Sunday Show where he’s introduced by John Peel and Sounds Of The 70’s — as well as five songs by Bowie from The Looking Glass Murders (aka Pierrot In Turquoise) and 2020 Tony Visconti mixes of five tracks including “The Prettiest Star.” There’s also a 48-page book.

There’s also a 10″ vinyl The Width of a Circle EP being released, featuring 2020 Visconti mixes of “The Prettiest Star,” “London Bye, Ta-Ta,” “Memory of a Free Festival,” and “Holy Holy.”

Additionally, Rhino is releasing a picture disc version of The Man Who Sold the World that comes with a Bowie poster.

The Width of a Circle set and the two vinyl releases will be out May 26 via Rhino and are available for pre-order now. Check out the full tracklist for the two-CD set, as well as the artwork for the vinyl releases, below.
