A New Career in a New Town (1977–1982) is a box set by David Bowie, released on 29 September 2017. A follow-up to the compilations Five Years (1969–1973) and Who Can I Be Now? (1974–1976), the set covers the period of Bowie's career from 1977 to 1982, including his "Berlin Trilogy", over eleven compact discs or thirteen LPs. Exclusive to the box set are a "Heroes" EP, which compiles album and single versions of the song that were recorded in German and French, a new version of Lodger (1979), remixed by coproducer Tony Visconti, and Re:Call 3, a compilation of non-album singles, single versions, and B-sides that serves as a sequel to Re:Call 1 from Five Years and Re:Call 2 from Who Can I Be Now? and features the Baal EP (1982) in its entirety on CD for the first time.
The box set also includes remastered editions of Low, "Heroes", Lodger (in original mix), Stage (in original and 2017 versions), and Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps).
The set comes with a hardcover book with photographs by Anton Corbijn, Helmut Newton, Andrew Kent, Steve Schapiro, Duffy and many others, as well as historical press reviews and technical notes about the albums from producer Tony Visconti.
The box attracted vast criticism by fans and music reviewers, including Henry Rollins, as heavier changes to the music in the mixing and mastering process through Visconti became clear.
