The highly anticipated David Bowie documentary Moonage Daydream will be accompanied by an album of the same name featuring a host of rare and previously unreleased material, as well as new mixed made especially for the film. The first is for “Modern Love,” which accentuates the original version’s piano line and a cappella backing vocals.
Directed by Brett Morgen, the film version of Moonage Daydream will be released in theaters and IMAX on Sept. 16. The digital version of the companion album arrives the same day, followed by a two-CD set on Nov. 18 and a three-LP package at some point in 2023.

Among the other rare finds on the album are a previously unreleased live take of “Rock ’n’ Roll With Me” from Bowie’s 1974 tour, an alternate take on “Quicksand” from the album Hunky Dory and a 1973 live medley of “The Jean Genie” and The Beatles’ “Love Me Do,” featuring Jeff Beck on guitar. Bowie’s dialog is interspersed throughout the track list. The compilation was produced by longtime Bowie collaborator Tony Visconti.
Moonage Daydream premiered in late May at the Cannes Film Festival and will air on HBO and HBO Max next spring. It’s the first film to officially be sanctioned by Bowie’s estate following his death in 2016 at age 69.
