David Bowie, Hunky Dory, 1971 on RCA Victor

Bowie's fourth full-length studio LP and one of my all-time favorites. This followed The Man Who Sold the World but all these early Bowie albums are so great they sound to me like they have just always existed. It can be hard to find decent early pressings of these but there have been many great reissues, including this one from a digital remastering done in 2015. Bowie is joined here by Mick Ronson, Woody Woodmansey, Trevor Bolder, and Rick Wakeman on piano. Purportedly Wakeman was asked […]

1974 Canada pressing

Another one I unearthed from the boxes in my basement, and another I forgot I had.

A glam rock record from Bowie’s guitarist in The Spiders From Mars, with orchestral arrangements; mixed with originals, covers and instrumentals. It’s the same lush sounding arrangements deployed on the early 70s Bowie albums.

The true gem here is “Only After Dark”, Ronson’s best known song about evening behaviours and desires.
There’s also a cool Bruce Springsteen cover of “Growing Up And I’m Fine”, a very obscure choice at the time by a then little-known artist from New Jersey.

Fun record.
