5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent compilation - every track is a gem!, 22 May 2000
By A Customer
This is a superb CD - all of Bowie's early classics on one compilation. However, if you are a big Bowie fan, you'll have all these tracks on the albums. If you're not and you're new to the man, this is a good starting place BUT if you want a more complete anthology of Bowie's career then check out the Singles Collection CD. These may have been Bowie's classic years in terms of output but he still made great music into the 80s. If, however, you just want the early stuff on one CD without buying the albums (or as a primer) then this is well worth the money.

5.0 out of 5 stars The White Duke at his very very best, 28 Sep 2001
By ka_davies@hotmail.com (Hereford, England) - See all my reviews
All his best hits on one CD. The space themes of his classics Starman and Space Oddity mixed with the superb Rebel Rebel, All the Young Dudes, Changes..the list is endless. Definitely THE Bowie album to buy, it is the androgynous Ziggy at his best. A track for every mood, every occasion...it need never stray from the CD player!!

5.0 out of 5 stars SUPERB SELECTION OF SONGS, 11 Feb 2003
By Pieter "Toypom" (Johannesburg) - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)   
This excellent compilation draws from the albums The Man Who Sold The World, Space Oddity, Hunky Dory, Pin-Ups, Aladdinsane, Diamond Dogs and his opus magnum Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders from Mars. It thus provides some of his best work with producer Tony Visconti plus a wide variety of different musical styles. There's the wistful pop of Space Oddity and Starman, the pre-punk aggro of Jean Genie (supposedly written about Iggy Pop), the anthemic rock of Rebel Rebel, the 60s pop of Sorrow and Oh You Pretty Things (This was a hit for Peter Noone of Herman's Hermits in 1971). There's also the heavy rock of Man Who Sold The World (a hit for Lulu in the late 1960s) and All The Young Dudes (a hit for Mott The Hoople in 1973), the bleak ballad Drive-In Saturday, his fast and aloof interpretation of Let's Spend The Night Together and the phenomenal and breathtaking Life On Mars with its gripping arrangement and poetic lyrics. Other favourites of mine include the catchy Prettiest Star and Changes with its interesting wordplay, plus the magnificent Diamond Dogs with its howling hound sounds. The choice of tracks is highly intelligent and although these things are always subjective, I do for once agree with the selection of the compilers. Of course, Bowie had a novelty hit in 1973, The Laughing Gnome, but it would have been out of place on this album so I won't complain of the omission, and it was recorded long before 1969. Bowie's early work has stood the test of time very well. These are all strong, melodic songs that still evoke vivid images and emotions. This album well and truly deserves its five stars.
