About Golden Years

Golden Years is a 1983 compilation album by David Bowie issued by RCA Records. After 11 years with RCA Records, Bowie left the label and signed with EMI Records, releasing his highly successful album Let's Dance in 1983. Wishing to capitalize on Bowie's and the new album's popularity, RCA issued Golden Years, a compilation of previously released Bowie tracks. The cover art featured a recent photo of Bowie, giving a false first impression the album was an all-new release. Bowie was angered by the release of this LP and other compilations RCA issued without his input and he would eventually reclaim his back catalogue, soon after RCA reissued all of his earlier albums on compact disc in 1985 without his permission. As a result, Bowie's original RCA CD catalogue was in print only briefly, and they are highly collectible today.
