CD Reviews

BOWIE, ONE OF A KIND

P. E. May | sandy beach, australia | 06/05/2007

(4 out of 5 stars)

"I do not agree with the two faded, jaded, sad people who have given this collection such a bad rap.

Some of the songs on this collection are not his best, but they are priceless jewels, never the same, and will NEVER be repeated.

Please, Bowie fans and those who are just interested, give this collection your own verdict and dont be swayed by some people who think they know better than a master songwriter and producer."

Better than buying the original 80s albums

J. Simon | Canton, Michigan | 07/03/2007

(3 out of 5 stars)

"Obviously this isn't Bowie's greatest period; yet there are some great singles here (Ashes to Ashes, China Girl, Let's Dance). Overall, it's not an important disc. It was included in a box set with two other discs('69-'74 & '74-'79)that have been available for about ten years. People who own the other two discs were, of course, reluctant to purchase them again in a box set. For us, this disc is a welcome release and an essential purchase."

An introduction to a little known bowie era

John J. Petersen | Pompton Plains, NJ USA | 07/24/2007

(4 out of 5 stars)

"interesting how Bowie countered the 80's synth-pop era of [,,,] etc. and how he references his space era characters early in his career into the 80's. Especially in 'Ashes to Ashes' recalling that Major Tom was a junkie, strung out! And his garage rock era success into Scary monsters."
