Talk:Never Let Me Down

Musicians
Is Mickey Rourke (mid-song rap on Makin' My Love) the actor Mickey Rourke? If not, this wiki link should be removed. Pugetbill (talk) 14:42, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Yes, it is the actor. The limited edition 7" of Day-In Day-Out simply calls him by name, so one would assume that if it was a different Mickey Rourke, they would have explained.

The Interview
I am working on an article for '...the interview,' which was a promotional-only album released alongside NLMD that includes some album tracks and a bunch of answers for a pseudo-live Q&A session with whatever DJ chose to read the questions. I think it makes more sense include that article here rather than in its own article, since virtually everything (producer, credits, etc) are the same. What do people think?

Sales
How well did it sell ?

"Bowie said that, while the album sold more than any of his previous albums" - but "Let's Dance" looks to have done better in the UK and US anyway. -- Beardo (talk) 21:17, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

What to do with Never Let Me Down 2018?
Looking for feedback here. The announcement of NLMD '18 has spurned quite a bit of press interest. Where do we put information about the release? On one hand, it seems notable as the first and only re-release of a past album, and the first album to be (re-)released posthumously. However, it's only being released as part of the Loving The Alien box set, and not at its own (all press releases seem to say it's exclusive to the box set). So do we add it to this article in its own section, as I've begun? Or give it its own article? or add it to the LTA box article? Thoughts? Thanks. 87Fan (talk) 01:35, 30 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Hey! I know I'm 2&1/2 years late but I thought I'd ask here. Do we have any reception from RSs regarding the 2018 remix? AS it stands, all that's present in the section is development and etc. I've heard read online from fans that the 2018 remix improves the record (I agree) but it would greatly help if we had publications that supported that. – zmbro (talk) 15:23, 14 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi, there are a few reviews that I could find. I'm not 100% sure which of these are considered reliable vs not so I'll list them all. Hopefully there's something useful in here! Thank you!

 * Thanks for these, I've begun incorporating them into the article. I would really like for Nicholas Pegg to release a new version of THe Complete David Bowie so he can include more info since 2016, notably the New Career and Loving the Alien box sets; I especially wanna hear his opinion on the 2018 remix. We can only hope. – zmbro (talk) 22:03, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
