Legendary guitarist Earl Slick, David Bowie's longest-standing lead guitarist, is set to release a brand-new remixed version of a track with Bowie on vocals 8 November 2024 on limited edition 7" coloured vinyl.

Earl Slick and David Bowie's partnership produced some of rock's most memorable music. In celebration of his recent autobiography "Guitar" published by Penguin achieving #1 on Amazon, Slick is now sharing this musical treasure.

Slick recounted a particularly serendipitous moment: "I would never have thought to ask David to sing on my record. It's not that we weren't close -- we'd known each other forever -- but it just wasn't something that would have occur- red to me. But when I called Mark Plati at the studio one day to talk about some sessions I wanted to do, it turned out David was there. He got wind of what we were planning and asked to talk to me. 'I guess you're not interested in me maybe doing a little something on the record?' It was a silly question, of course. And what I figured would be some percussion or 12-string guitar turned into lyrics and an amazing vocal. I'm really excited to finally be able to share it with the world!"

Producer Mark Plati echoed the excitement, saying, "One of the highlights of my career was being in the room when Earl Slick and David Bowie wrote 'Isn't It Evening', and then having the privilege to help bring it to life."

Legendary mixer Bob Clearmountain, who worked on this new version, added, "It was such a thrill and an honour to be working on a David Bowie song again! Recording and mixing the 'Let's Dance' album was certainly one of the high points of my career. His passing was a real shock for me as we had become long-distance friends. Mixing his voice somehow made me feel close to him again."
