4.  The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust & the Spiders from Mars: Remastered by David Bowie

Highway 61 Revisited

Aftermath [UK Version]

Astral Weeks
10.  Astral Weeks by Van Morrison
The list author says:

£4.45   Used & New from: £2.23
4.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (67 customer reviews)

Live at the ABC Kingston 1962
11.  Live at the ABC Kingston 1962 by Cliff Richard

Transformer
12.  Transformer by Lou Reed

  "Dealing with transvestites and 'coming out of the closet', Lou Reed created a very listenable album with a little help from David Bowie. Stand out track: 'Perfect Day'"
£3.49   Used & New from: £2.22
4.2 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (17 customer reviews)

Elv1s: 30 #1 Hits
13.  Elv1s: 30 #1 Hits by Elvis Presley

Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
