Notes
The Best of David Bowie 1969/1974 is a compilation album by British musician David Bowie, released by EMI in October 7, 1997. The US release of the album was pulled from the stores because of multiple inaccuracies in the credits and liner notes. It was re-released by EMI-Capitol Records Entertainment Properties the following year (1998) in the US as part of the essential collection, with a new cover and corrected information as a limited edition. This album was also included as the first disc of the compilation The Platinum Collection (2005/2006).
There are three uncredited rarities included on the album. They are: "John, I'm Only Dancing" (Sax version) – recorded during the sessions for the Aladdin Sane album; "The Prettiest Star" (Marc Bolan stereo version) – the original 1970 single release that features Marc Bolan on lead guitar; and "All the Young Dudes (Studio version)" – the original Bowie studio version from 1973.
