Fanatstic Voyage may be about the frst track by him I got into myself. Picked it up on a single in the turn of the 80s or late 70s.
My Brother had been a major Bowie fan but I don't think I'd picked up on anything before that.
Also love that Deram Anthology which is basically an expansion on the Images material.
& thinking about things from roughly the same era and possibly similar style I love Blaze! the psychedelic era lp by Herman's Hermits. Stone Roses always reminded me of that lp melodically, wonder if it has anything to do with a shared geographical location?
Also Donovan's psychedelic lps are great, just reminded cos Blaze! has a cover of his museum on. Not sure how unsung he is though.
& tangentially, reminded of the solo Bob Mould tour from '89 which was great, recordings of that which has him with a rhythm section of Anton Fier & Tony Maimone are worth searching out. Not sure how sung they are , it relates to the Workbook lp but that was a lot more acoustic. Live was electric.
