[b]David Bowie (aka Space Odddity) (40th Anniversary edition)- Yes, it's 40 years since this was released and man landed on the moon. Pure chance, pure coincidence...pure genius. This was Bowie's first serious release and should be grouped as part of his 70s works of art. The songs are very much of the era but are of a high calibre. I bought this one on CD way back in 1984/1985 when I got into Bowie. I later got the Rykodisc version which contained this brilliant obscure track A Conversation Piece. [/b]
Oooh, Conversation Piece! I'd love to hear the original version! I have the 2002 re-recording that appeared on the
Heathen bonus disc (I hadn't heard it before), and it has since become one of my favourite Bowie songs. It would be interesting to compare the two.
