Who Can I Be Now? (1974–1976) is a box set by David Bowie, released on 23 September 2016, which covers the artist's "American Phase".^[1]^[2]^[3] A follow-up to the 2015 compilation Five Years (1969–1973), Who Can I Be Now? (1974–1976) covers the period of Bowie's career from 1974 to 1976 over twelve compact discs or thirteen LPs. Exclusive to the box sets is The Gouster, a previously unreleased album that eventually became Young Americans, and Re:Call 2, a new compilation of non-album singles, single versions and B-sides that serves as the sequel to Re:Call 1 from Five Years.

It also includes remastered editions of Diamond Dogs, Young Americans, Station to Station (in original and 2010 mixes), David Live (in original and 2005 mixes), and Live Nassau Coliseum '76, a live album of his 23 March 1976 concert at Nassau Coliseum during his Isolar Tour 1976 in support of Station to Station, previously only available on the 2010 deluxe edition of Station to Station.

The box set comes with a hardcover book that includes photos from Eric Stephen Jacobs, Tom Kelley, backup singer Geoffrey MacCormack, Terry O'Neill, Steve Schapiro, and more, as well as liner notes penned by Bowie’s close collaborators Tony Visconti and Harry Maslin and a handwritten note from Bowie about the The Gouster.^[4]
