I love every track on that record, and on some days it's my favourite Bowie album bar none. Certainly my favourite to sing along to.
I love the 'David Bowie' album too.
After the 'meteoric rise' of the Ziggy album of course, they tried to make his debut album more appealing with that renamed package "Images: 1966-67"- (great sleeve illustrations!)
The album has just been remastered now too-
I also like the trivial fact that John McLaughlin plays guitar as a jobbing session man on 'Karma Man' and 'Let Me Sleep Beside You' =8-o
