I remember like it was yesterday popping into one of many of my favourite record shops on my way home from school and hearing this complete game changer for the first time.

Thank fucking Christ for this record! This was a big return to form for the Thin White Duke. Nothing was ever conventional for Bowie after this record.

The single “Young Americans” was a real surprise when I first heard it on the radio. While the R&B sound was hinted at on “David Live” I don’t think anyone was expecting this.

Here it is! Not my favourite Bowie record by any stretch but definitely in my most important records of all time collection.

For me THE high water mark of Bowie’s whole career. The whole album is basically all reflex in my brain. I know every note, every nuance, every lyric.

There’s possibly nothing in my entire collection that is as ageless as this masterpiece. The fact that my son Peter listened to this in his car on his wedding day speaks volumes.

I’ve waited what seems like an eternity to play this. I’ve just returned from a week away and within the first hour of being home I feel a real anticipation that turns into necessity, to get on with playing Bowie’s second record.

I’m breaking out the Bowie box sets this February. It’s wall-to-wall studio Bowie records only this month - starting with this, his first “proper” album through to 1980’s “Scary Monsters”.

Ok I admit it, I dabbled with New Age music! Luckily it was a fleeting indiscretion that only came about from exposure to a couple of Windham Hill samplers.
