David Bowie is the self-titled debut album by British musician David Bowie, released in 1967 via Deram Records. Its content has little to do with the type of music that later made Bowie famous, such as folk rock from Space Oddity or glam rock from The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. New Musical Express editors Roy Carr and Charles Shaar Murray said: “Listeners accustomed to Bowie's image in the seventies will probably find this debut album shocking or just plain weird.” guises would probably find this debut album either shocking or else simply quaint "), and musical biographer David Buckley described it as" a record equal to the mad woman in the attic".

This is the final show of the Reality Tour in Japan.The quality is very good indeed, and the taper must have had a great location as there is very little audience bleed.

In late December 2015 a new David Bowie box set was announced that would be focused on his rise to rock stardom in the early 70’s. With the dawning of the new year, news that the music world feared came true, that Bowie had been seriously ill for years and had passed away. Like when most celebrities pass away, interest and demand for their output rises and it took me a bit of work to secure a copy of this box, in anticipation of its arrival I used the time to pour back over David’s back catalog of this era, from The Man Who Sold The World through Aladdin Sane as well as the few official live records, the brilliant Santa Monica 72 show, the Ziggy soundtrack, and the David Live were all in steady rotation.

MUSIC AND INTERVIEWS FROM THE ODDEST OF COUPLES David s friendship was the light of my life. I never met such a brilliant person. He was the best there is . So tweeted Iggy Pop upon hearing the news of David Bowie s death in January 2016. Iggy and Bowie had been friends since 1971 when the pair met, a period of excess when we were all pretty bad but he was at least viable . Bowie would then invite him to travel along as a fly on the wall on the tour following the release of Station to Station. Then came Berlin, The Idiot and Lust For Life, and the legendary tour during which David played keyboards while the Ig performed manically centre stage. This triple disc box set explores and celebrates the unique relationship between this pair of extraordinary show men and features the full recording from the aforementioned tour when Iggy performed at Ohio s Agora Ballroom, with Bowie in tow on the keys, a further show from the same tour at Chicago s Mantra Studios, and a third disc of interviews during which they not only sing high praise about each other, but join forces in one notable session when the results are as anarchic and hilarious as one might imagine. Beautifully packaged and completed with the collector in mind, this box set will delight fans of both these maverick performers and provides a tasteful memento of one of the most enduring and genuine friendships ever developed under the guise of Rock n Roll.

David Bowie n'était pas une "légende du rock" comme les autres. Avoir traversé les décennies et les modes de la sorte a toujours conféré à Bowie un statut d'innovateur, artiste singulier réussissant à se réinventer perpétuellement, à se remettre en question aussi… Qu’il s’agisse du glam, de la new wave, du funk ou de la soul, du disco ou de l’électro, David Bowie a endossé tous les genres ; parfois même avec une longueur d’avance. De Major Tom à Ziggy Stardust, d’Aladdin Sane au Thin White Duke, il s’est inventé et réinventé, s’est métamorphosé et a exhibé son corps devenu spectacle. Corps qu’il a fait voyager aux quatre coins du monde, de Londres à New York en passant par Berlin.

A 25x14cm booklet said to be "Limited Bookset 126/350".This great bootleg I just found in a very small record shop for 65Ђ while on summer holidays in the south of France.Seems to me to be an upgrade to what's been uploaded yet, but I let you listen to it and judge by yourself.I find these are tremendous shows in which Bowie plays two different sets with almost all the songs used during the first part of the tour.Sorry for the artwork, I couldn't scan it my scanner being out of order. so I simply took photos of it, think it'll be alright though…
