DAVID BOWIE "HUNKY DORY"

RCA VICTOR RECORDS, Cat# LSP 4623

Matrix nos APRS 5947 / 5948

**********************************************************

A 1971 ORIGINAL STEREO pressing.

DAVID BOWIE was still sporting the 'Dress Cover' period long wavy locks at this album's release, preceding the spikey red hair on his launch to a similar superstardom as his old friend Marc Bolan. Perhaps it was T.Rex fame that encouraged David to be more outrageous and join the Glam Rock revolution. As we know - he propelled beyond being a passenger to the absolute driving force!

This album is packed great songs, yet you can hear it's not so very diverse from the Ziggy Stardust material. Still there are the wonderful and original compositions, of which there were total CLASSICS 'Changes', 'Oh! You Pretty Things' and of course 'Life On Mars'.

This lp is definitely significant in setting the stage for one of the greatest entertainers and musicians of our times...... and here's the original issue pressing, GEM predating the 'MAINMAN' publishing credit on subsequent issues.

Note; it shouldn't be forgotten that Mick Ronson (RIP) was VERY instrumental in this and the following albums. His arrangements were expert - he played guitar wonderfully and could manage keyboards too, as played on Lou Reed's 'Perfect Day' he had a hand in his breakthrough album). He later toured with Bob Dylan.

A fine musician.
