CD Reviews

The ultimate Bowie album you don't know

Tosh Berman | 05/30/2007

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I can't imagine a TRUE Bowie fan not owning this album. Peter Noone (Herman's Hermits) "Oh You Pretty Thing" is superb and the one and only Billy Fury doing a rare recording of Bowie's "Silly Boy Blue" is simply great. Maybe this is a guilty pleasure, but it is another side of the Bowie coin - and come on it even has John Cougar Mellencamp doing "The man who sold the world." And Lulu's version is total fab as well."

Glad I bought it...

"I'm always wary about compilations, but I always buy them and am let down. However, I really enjoyed this! I thought the Peter Noone track was great, the Lulu's were great...the first few were hokey, but funny. The only tracks I didn't like were by Astro-something and John Couger Mellancamp's Man Who Sold the World. I LOVE "Andy Warhol" and I finally have the Mott the Hoople cover of "All The Young Dudes". Good buy."
