This has to be in my top 5 albums of all time favorites.

RIP David.
That was one of the first four albums I ever bought. Another of the four was Station to Station.
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.
