DAVID BOWIE REVISITED - A TRIBUTE

This is a dream come true. An album collecting most covers done by other artists in the 1967-74 period. Many of these songs are so obscure that they haven't even been seen on bootlegs, among tape collectors or downloaders. Since 1974, compilation albums like this has been promised the fans, but never materialized due to contractual reasons. The exception was in 1997 when The Bowie Songbook CD was released. It was a half-hearted attempt, but had reedeming qualities in Blondie's Heroes and Bauhaus' Ziggy Stardust. But no other such album has been out. This album has three previously unreleased tracks onboard as well: Dana Gillespie's "Andy Warhol" (1971 mix), Lulu's "The Man Who Sold The World" (alternate mix) and John Cougar Mellencamp's "The Man Who Sold The World". To make a long story short: This is a damn well selected and well made collection. I can't find any faults here. It's up on the standard of the products of Rhino Records in California. (in Amazon)
