ADDITIONAL INFO:
- The net release contains 'No One Calls' as bonus track. A song also found on the Thursday's
Child CD single (UK).
- The Japanese
release (Virgin VJCP-68160) contains 'We All Go Through' as bonus
track. This track is not included on the UK or US album versions. A track to be found on the Thursday's
Child CD single (UK).
- There's also the limited
edition release (Virgin CDVX 2900) (see
picture). The only real difference
compared to the regular release is the holographic front and the inside
cover, (the spine on the ltd.ed has a link to BowieNet, whilst the regular
release just states David Bowie Hours), other than that it is the exact
same CD. The ammount of copies of this release differs from country to country.
2000 copies were released in Sweden.
- Two other new tracks can be found on the
'Thursday's Child' CD single in both UK
and EC.
These two songs are: 'We
Shall Go To Town' and '1917 (instrumental)'
- France Ltd.Ed French 2CD set (7243 8 48716
0 4). One CD is the standard 'hours...' CD. The other CD has an interview
with Bowie, the 'Thursday's Child' video and showing how the video was made...
and the 'We All Go Through' track. The two CD's are housed in a card slip-case.
- Also released as a conterfeit picture disc
LP. It comes with a different front cover compared to the CD. It is said
to have been manufactured in a rather large quantity. From what I've heard
not hard to find this album throughout Europe. |
