Initial announcement
In October 2020, a series of six live concert albums was announced by label Parlophone.[3] These six albums would be released individually over the coming months, collectively forming a box-set. Empty boxes to hold the set of CDs or vinyl albums are sold separately.[4]
The first album of the series would be Ouvrez le Chien, and subsequent albums were announced separately.[5] The first three albums were released by the end of 2020, with the final three arriving in early 2021.[5] All six albums were described as "limited one run only pressings" with 4,000 Vinyl and 6,000 CDs of each album pressed. In addition, the albums would be made available online via music streaming services.[4]
Ouvrez le Chien (Live Dallas 95)
The CD and vinyl versions of Ouvrez le Chien were released on 30 October 2020.[6] However, the album had already been available via streaming services since July 2020.[5] The album was recorded on the 13th October 1995 at the Starplex Amphitheatre, Dallas during Bowie's Outside Tour.[5] The album is not a complete record of the show, five songs "Subterraneans"; "Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps)"; "Reptile"; "Hallo Spaceboy" and "Hurt" which Bowie performed with Nine Inch Nails are not included. "Ouvrez le Chien" is a partial lyric from Bowie's 1970 song "All the Madmen", which he repeated in his 1993 song "The Buddha of Suburbia", and during the tour, a sign with this lyric hung above the stage.Шаблон:Sfn
