David Bowie - David Bowie (Deluxe Edition)

Review by Alexander Tudor

Often swept under the carpet by his fans, David Bowie's 1967 debut starts like a pastiche of music hall, but by the end shows the chameleonic Bowie so capable of assimilating his peers (the Stones, Donovan, etc.) it's only a mattter of time before he writes the defining anthems of the next decade.»
