Genre: British pop/rock
Places I remember: One of my last purchases from the RCA Music Club, delivered to my new home in Mt Roskill South.
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Right
Gear costume: Young Americans, Fame
Active compensatory factors: The appearance of John Lennon was my primary reason for buying this album.
Being a completist is tough at times. I was not a huge Bowie fan and his fascination with soul/RnB wasn't my favourite Bowie period. Even he called it 'plastic soul'.
Across The Universe and Fame are the two tracks to include Lennon. Fame, of course, was a huge hit single.
Listening to it again is an interesting experience. My impressions of it haven't changed at all. It still sounds cold (as in lacking warmth) and I still dislike his version of Across The Universe.
Where do they all belong? An oddity in the collection. Ziggy, Diamond Dogs and Hunky Dory are still the three Bowie albums I play the most.
