This release - compiled by Béatrice Ardisson, wife of French TV presenter Thierry Ardisson - is part of a Mania series of tribute albums. This one focuses on covers of David Bowie songs.
Like a few other compilations (Uncut’s Starman, Q’s Ultimate Songwriters) it features the cover of ‘Life On Mars’ as performed by Neil Hannon & Yann Tiersen at his Black Session which was released as an album.
The CD was released in various packaging.
The regular digipak features a silvered artwork, and a booklet under the front cover.
Another release also exists, coming in a simple card sleeve. The CD seems to be the same as the digipak edition, and the back cover features a different bar code.
The promo CD also comes in a card sleeve. It has the same front cover, but on the back does not feature a bar code. Instead it is written ‘PROMO CD / NOT FOR RESALE’ (in French tough). The CD is plain white and also mentions it is not for resale.
