Stefan,

I think that I played Near Gale over twenty times since I got it three weeks ago.

I'm only half ways through, but all my expectations (after the fabulous first one) are met or exceeded. Great team...

cheers
Stefan

Music to bubble-bath to?... Purchased this double Bowie Singles Collection years ago and it's very good. The only track i don't like is 'Alabama Song' so i usually skip that one.
My favourite track on this disc is the superb 'Wild Is The Wind', can anyone tell me please, which album this is from? : )

You miss out 'Alabama Song'?????????????

Bowie's version is amazing, but then I probably come at Bowie from a different direction, as I feel anything after 'Scary Monsters....' and before 'Outside' is completely unlistenable.

The opening chords of 'Chine Girl' at the last Bowie gig I saw were notice that it was a good opportunity to go to get some drinks. He did however play the most heart rending version of 'The Motel' at that show, 'Ziggy Startdust' wasn't bad either.

Oh and while I am here, now playing Mark Kozelek/Sun Kil Moon 'The Great American Music Hall, San Francisco, 2004' soundboard bootleg recording.

I managed to prize Sun Kil Moon 'April' out of the CD player for just a little while, but not long I suspect.

Hello Jamie,

I didn't miss it out on this occasion because; being sat in the bath-tub is too far from the remote control and audio downstairs... still don't like it though.
But there isn't much about Bowie or his music i don't like ; )

Fine record from a brilliant talent: I'm a Nanci boy & proud!

It is the only NG I have but I always enjoy it.

Hi Jeff,

If you are interested in other NG albums, you may want give a listen to "Other Voices, Too (A Trip Back to Bountiful)," "One Fair Summer Evening," and "Flyer." Flyer was the first one I heard.

'Hunky Dory' is probably my favourite of his albums, although I have a wonderful recording of his 50th Birthday session he did for Radio1 (mostly acoustic) that comes close.

Seeing him open his second headline at the Phoenix Festival (1997) alone with only an acoustic 12 sting guitar, dressed in Tibetan silk as the sun set was the start of one of the best performances I have ever seen.

Not many artists could walk on stge alone with just an acoustic guitar and hush a festival crowd as the main headline.

Not completely a quiet gig though, it covered such a range, the version of 'Fame' he played would make have made Metalica blush.
