Living in Berlin and working with David Bowie proved to be a boon to Iggy Pop in the late ’70s. Now, the era is getting a box set.

Titled the Bowie Years, the set will include Pop’s The Idiot and Lust for Life and the 1978 live album TV Eye Live. It will also feature outtakes, alternate mixes and additional live recordings including Live at The Rainbow Theatre, LondonLive at The Agora, Cleveland; and Live at Mantra Studio, Chicago. A 40-page booklet will come with it as well,” with contributions from the musicians who played on the records and famous fans discussing the influence the albums have had on them,” per a release.

From that collection, an alternate version of “China Girl” was released. It’s a lot rougher than the version Bowie would release in 1983, which you can see below.

The Bowie Years is out on May 29 via UME.
