By 1973 the sixties lay mouldering. This was David's attempt to resurrect them. Whilst always remembered for the Beatles, Dead and later Floyd, David showed where the real scene lay. In the frenetic high octane, hormonally charged rush to headbutt the past and live for the moment RNB. This was one template for punk along with the Dolls who also incidentally resurrected the 60's rockers.
These marked an English renaissance. It was only a few years before Tommy Steele and a host of lackadaisical crooners ruled young people's lives in post war sepia. The early 60's with Them, Pretty Things, early Floyd, Who, Zombies, Animals, Stones and Dave Clark took the beat back to the US for the first ever a successful British invasion after two hundred years of trying. All we did was repackage their black acts, speeded up with the sound of an English amphetamined sensibility. This weaved a new form of imagination, a new revelation.
The sounds showing the white working classes of the UK, the ones that bore the body count in two world wars had something going between the ears, heart, groin and upward, onward- connecting the spirit of zest, zing and zap. The first cultural revolution, an upheavel turning the tables, brought the mournful "Sorrow," the acid drone of "See Emily Play," and the frantic rocking of "Rosalyn."
David took us back to the big bang recreating the moment deep in the caverns of mod sensibility, in the same way the Dolls and the Cramps gave the kiss of life to Americana. Turning these slabs of 7 inch vinyl fires into pure sparklers. Personally if he had never done anything else I he was a genius. Although covers, the originals are brilliant killers in their own right, David charged these songs with his particular presence, electrifying them. In the 70's you could rightfully ask "Where have all the good times gone?" By the early 70's beards, flares and Rick Wakeman bored the pants of the loons.
Once digested, the rough edges bring back the glitz- return to originals, a whole other world lies dormant under the dross of 60's hagiography. Note no Beatles covers. The real scene lay in submerged waters. This dives down and lets you out just at the right places.

For those of you who remember when Melody Maker was the only music paper worth reading, this album will take you back to the heady days of Eel Pie Island, The Fishmongers Arms and The Ricki Tick. With a cracking band, Bowie storms through a set of covers from Pink Floyd, Them, The Pretty Things, The Merseybeats , The Who and the Kinks to name but a few.
Excellent production and energetic arrangements give familiar songs a new feel. Good to hear a bit of Bowie's sax, and there's chance for Ronno to show off a bit too.
Was this Ziggy's covers set? Could be, and a bargain at the price.
Well worth a punt for Bowie fans and sixties pop lovers.

ive been a bowie fan since 1972 ziggy took at least thrree listens before i got into it because compared to anything else id heard it was so goddam weird .
of course weird turn into a realization weird was in this case brilliant and gobsmacking .
i also loved and still love alladin sane , so when pinups came out i wanted more
weirdness and unmatched brilliance .
so when pinups came out i was majorly disapointed .
if ziggy took three listens to get into pinups took ten .
as usual bowie got it right , all these tears later it sounds better than ever .
ive read a lot of reviews saying in every case the originals are better .
this may even be true , thats only because every original is undoubtedly superb .
but i still love this album.
the spiders are in blistering form and ronnos solo on see emily play im sure syd barret would definitely approve.
rosalyn rocks like a bugger homage to the bad boys of rock the pretty things .
there is not a bad track on this album david not going for the obvious , but nodding to his genuine influences.
to those who are disapointed after buying say ziggy or alladin sane give this album time to sink into your conciousness .
you will be well rewarded . its a fantastic album and who can match this brilliance now .
no one except maybe radiohead at their best .
