Intrigue and myth-building have not only been important to David Bowie's career, you could argue that they are his career. So when Bowie did VH1's Storytellers in 1999, the anticipation was great that he'd break his own walls and be forthcoming about his biggest hits. He wasn't.

For some reason, Virgin/EMI is releasing the decade-old Storytellers episode on July 14, in CD, DVD, and Digital formats, because, apparently, the time is ripe for this kind of release. Bowie has been out of the limelight for quite a while, popping up mostly when TV on the Radio or Arcade Fire have asked him out.

The DVD and digital copies will feature four unaired tracks from the show: "Survive," "I Can't Read," "Always Crashing in the Same Car" and "If I'm Dreaming My Life." The CD, for whatever reason, doesn't feature those tracks.

Here's the track list. Again, David Bowie: VH1 Storytellers comes out on July 14.
