David Bowie ORIG US 2LP Images 1966-1967 EX ’73 London BP628/9 Mod Pop Rock
Original US 2LP released in 1973 on London Records. Cat: BP628/9. Comes in a gatefold sleeve. Matrix numbers are: SAHS-1632-3W sf/ SAHS-1633-3W sf/ SAHS-1634-3W sf/ SAHS-1635-3W sf/ (stamped on every side): Bell Sound. Inner bags have S-2 on bottom left corners. This double album is becoming hard to find, which is unfortunate, as it's easily the most comprehensive collection of Bowie's 1966-1967 work for Deram. The 21 tracks include the entirety of his 1967 debut album, plus seven stray songs from singles and sessions that were unreleased at the time. Possibly because it wasn't heard by many listeners until it was reissued in the early '70s during Bowie's ascent to stardom, this material has been unfairly maligned. Critics and fans of Ziggy Stardust were shocked to discover an all-around entertainer seemingly bent upon becoming the new Anthony Newley. Indeed, much of his work from this era was overbearingly cloying and saccharine, both in the West End matinee aspirations of the lyrics and the unabashedly theatrical orchestration, which bore hardly any resemblance to good old rock & roll whatsoever. One of these, "Laughing Gnome" (featuring Chipmunk-like backup vocals), would cause Bowie considerable embarrassment when it was reissued -- and became a hit -- in Britain in 1973. The less-idiotically cheerful efforts, though, show definite signs of an idiosyncratic talent: the odd character sketches, the fleeting references to transvestites and mysticism, even the occasional London swinging pop number ("Let Me Sleep Beside You").
Tracks : Rubber band/ Maid of Bond street/ Sell me a coat/ Love you till Tuesday/ There is a hapyy land/ The laughing gnome/ Gospel according to Tony Day/ Did you ever have a dream/ Uncle Arthur/ We are hungry men/ When I live my dream/ Join the gang/ Little bombadier/ Come and buy my toys/ Silly boy blue/ She’s got my medals/ Please Mr. gravedigger/ London boys/ Karma man/ Let me sleep beside you/ In the heat of the morning.
