    This is a really unusual debut album that at first hearing seems quite at odds with the better known tracks to come. However, there are themes here that will crop up at different times over the next 25 albums, especially on Blackstar. This is not a rock album - it’s much closer to the older traditions of music hall with some unusual instruments and a lot of humour. You can also hear David’s distinctive vocal style developing in real time.

    Deep cuts for Bowie lovers, IMO. If you can't love the original moment where the branching happens, then I think you miss out on appreciating how the bravado of the later years found its roots.
