Bowie – The Video Collection is a video album by David Bowie, released in 1993. It included most official music videos made by Bowie between 1972 and 1990.

Release and reception

This video collection was released as a tie-in to the audio release of Bowie's The Singles Collection, released at the same time and with similar packaging. The release was hailed by Q magazine at the time as "the greatest video collection ever seen" and contained most, but not all of, Bowie's official videos released between 1972 and 1990. It did not include any videos from Bowie's time with Tin Machine, nor did it include any of the videos from his album Black Tie White Noise video collection, which had been released only a few months prior. Notable video inclusions on this release were the videos for "As the World Falls Down" and "Never Let Me Down", which until this compilation, had not previously been officially released.
