Bowie Oh! You Pretty Things - The Songs Of David Bowie by V.A.

An Selection collecting most covers done by other artists in the 1967-74 period.Many of these songs are so obscure that they haven't even been seen on bootlegs,among tape collectors.Since 1974 compilation like this has been promised the fans,but never materialized due to contractual reasons.Among the highlights on the album are Oscar's Over The Wall We Go, Billy Fury's Silly Boy Blue and Ava Cherry's I Am A Laser.The melody was used again by Bowie himself for Scream Like A Baby.Finally it's also confirmed that Lou Reed's Wagon Wheel from Transformer in fact is a co-written song with David.Music-wise it's a roller-coaster ride, but all Bowie fans will accept that. The most important thing are that they finally get + 90 % of the 67-74 tracks they've been searching for at one place.The only reason are denied licensing.That's why Peter Noone's Right On Mother and a few others are missing. It's not the compilers fault.Take a look at the comment for detailed playlist
