Used to work for RCA records. The suits had a real love/hate thing for Bowie. They knew he could write a hit anytime he wanted, but we got the arty Lodger and Scary Monsters. Then he bails on us and writes Let’s Dance for Capitol/EMI probably his biggest selling album ever. Those guys are probably still bitching about it.
Got to meet him when he came through town on the Elephant Man tour. Very nice approachable fellow. Not at all hung up on his own celebrity like so many others.
I love everything from Ziggy to Scary Monsters. I will check out the new one though sounds good.
That is really great that you got to meet him in person.
I have purchased 5 of the Ziggy Stardust albums and one version on CD.
2 of them I had worn COMPLETELY out, one as a gift, one I let someone “borrow” and never got it back and I still have the 5th and last copy along with the cd version.
RCA AND David got me 6 times on that Ziggy Stardust album. I still enjoy it to this day.
I would be interested in your opinion of the latest album.
Thanks for your reply to my post.
