5.0 out of 5 stars The Thin, White Duke in Glorious Technicolour!, 18 Nov 2005
By Crazy Punk - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
I bought this book for my mum's birthday. She absolutely loved it as she was a huge fan and even I was impressed with the lavish colour photos of Bowie in his fantastically theatrical costumes. There are many juicy snippets of information for lovers of the thin white Duke, including on-tour annecdotes, musings on fashion and fame, and insights into the song-writing process. It makes you realise just how very odd Bowie was at the time and still is, he was the inventor of glam, he was punk before punk was invented, New Romantic long before the eighties, but he was never exclusively any of these things. He was only ever himself, a truly mercurial and intelligent performer who bought his peculiar sensibility to everything he did.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Starman Speaks, 12 Jan 2007
My main interest in Bowie is the music, so I bought this only when I found it heavily discounted. I am glad that I did.

The revelation for me is Bowie's text, which runs through the book, partly as commentary on particular photos, but more often as general musings. He looks back fondly, yet dispassionately on the farflung Ziggy times. Witty & all rather English.

On being pressed by a girlfriend to take a look at Lindsay Kemp, the avantguarde mime artist, he comments: 'A mime. What could be less interesting?'. But then the girlfriend mentions that Kemp was playing Bowie's first album at the interval. 'A mime. how interesting.'

DB reveals that the lightening flash came from the sign for high voltage electricity. Not the schizophrenia reference which I had assumed.

You also get pictures, 300 pages' worth, recording much of the brief time Ziggy was with us (merely 18 months). An interesting mix of brash on-stage Ziggy & Spiders with some superbly mundane backstage footage & a few boyish ones at Haddon Hall. Viva Mick Rock!

This is not the first DB item you should buy. But it makes for a handsome addition for the Bowie enthusiast.

5.0 out of 5 stars Black and White in Colour, 11 Jan 2007
By Stephen Michael Dobson "Steve" (London, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I can remember being absolutely intrigued by David Bowie's image as a young lad of 11 or so. This was the hey day of glam rock and there were no such things as women in rock, or so I thought, mind you I was convinced that The New York Dolls and Brian Eno were very strange looking women. Once this myth was dispelled, I thought that rock stars had to dress up as women as real women were not allowed to play in Rock Bands.

Some how I always knew that David, no matter how much makeup and androgynous clothing he wore, was a bloke through and through. We had a black and white television and read Melody Maker and NME, therefore David was not usually available in full colour. There were colour pop mags and several of the pictures featured in this fantastic book were on my bedroom wall.

Along with the familiar images are some photo's that I have never seen before and with an entertaining narrative from Bowie Himself this is a feast of Sound and Vision. This book took me back to the 11 year old school boy and is a must for a Bowie fan, or even for the mildly curious. Now there was a man who sounded as good as he looked....
