David Bowie - The Man Who Sold The World
"After All" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXewmtDGQFQ

Trees - The Garden Of Jane Delawney



Nice to see "After All" singled out. That is the great unsung Bowie song - I rate it as his best and TMWSTW as his best album when it's not Low. Great to see Trees sitting next to that too - damn fine album!



They're both superb Bowie albums, for sure, but my Top 2 have to be 'Images 1966-1967' and 'Hunky Dory'. Images was an early 70s compilation, an extension of his first album - an older sister of my best friend up the road had it.

As young girls of 8 or 9, we'd play this album to death, not only learning all the lyrics but creating mini dramas for each song (She's Got Medals being a memorable 'play' ;-)). Along with the cartoons on the gatefold sleeve, it was (and is) such a child-friendly album, though London Boys gave me my first inkling of seedy, urban goings on.

"There's a special place in the rhubarb fields, underneath the leaves,
It's a secret place and adults aren't allowed there, Mr. Grownup,
Go away, sir..." from There Is A Happy Land.
