( CNN ) David Bowie 's single `` Changes '' is coming out as a 7-inch picture disc , the latest limited-edition vinyl from the chameleon-like singer . According to Bowie 's website , the track will be released alongside a 7-inch vinyl version of `` Kingdom Come , '' originally performed by Television front man Tom Verlaine and covered by Bowie for his 1980 album `` Scary Monsters ( and Super Creeps ) . '' Though the song never reached the Top 40 , it has always been a fan favorite and one of his better-known tracks . `` Collectors of the 40th anniversary series of picture discs ( which celebrate the original RCA releases of Bowie 's singles ) , have long bemoaned the absence of Changes from the series on account of it being the first Bowie single on RCA , '' Bowie 's website said in announcing the news . `` Changes '' was first released on the 1971 album `` Hunky Dory , '' which predated Bowie 's famous `` Ziggy Stardust '' persona and a string of Top 10 hits in the 1970s and 1980s . The tracks will be released April 18 in honor of Record Store Day , a celebration of independent record stores begun in 2007 . Bowie 's last studio album , `` The Next Day , '' was released in 2013 . The releases are part of the continuing renaissance for vinyl recordings , which have come back from near-obsolescence to claim record shares of music sales . In 2014 , vinyl LP sales increased 52 % and accounted for 6 % of all physical album sales , according to the Nielsen Music Report .
David Bowie 's 1971 hit `` Changes '' will be released as a limited edition picture disc . His 1980 cover of `` Kingdom Come '' will also be released on 7-inch vinyl . The album is the first to feature new material since Bowie's last studio album, ``Blackstar''.http://blogs.wsj.com/digits/2014/04/03/google-to-launch-new-andro@@
