From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I Can't Give Everything Away (2002–2016) is a box set by the English musician David Bowie, released on 12 September 2025. It is the sixth and final installment in a collection of era box sets that cover Bowie's music career, starting with Five Years (1969–1973). The box set covers the period from 2002 to 2016, spanning the return of Tony Visconti as producer for the first time since 1980's Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps) and Bowie's death from liver cancer two days after the release of Blackstar.[a][2][3]

Overview
The name of the box set comes from the closing track on Bowie's final studio album Blackstar (2016) and was compiled with his long term producer and collaborator Tony Visconti.[6]
It comprises 13 CDs, which features new remasters of the studio albums Heathen (2002), Reality (2003), and The Next Day (2013) and of the EP The Next Day Extra. Blackstar (2016) and the EP No Plan (2017) are also included, but are not remastered.[7] It also features previously unreleased material, single mixes and demos in an exclusive compilation album called Re:Call 6.[8]
The box set's exclusive content includes 2010's A Reality Tour in remastered and resequenced form, and Montreux Jazz Festival, a previously unreleased live album recorded at the eponymous event in July 2002.[7] The release also comes with a 128 page booklet, which covers previously unreleased notes, drawings, and handwritten lyrics from Bowie himself, as well as photos, images of memorabilia, and notes on the albums written by Visconti.[9]
