Featured review
Oh dear, oh, dear, oh dear ...
There's no getting away from it ... this is pretty bad. I would imagine this was seriously dated for 1969 ... more Sgt Pepper than Ziggy Stardust, with its self-conscious hippy stylings and dubious support from Hermione and Hutch (who remind me of a pair of Playschool presenters). More so when you consider that the first Led Zeppelin album came out in January of the same year.
Mime is never a good look. It's the sort of thing that would have sent me screaming from the room in 1969, when I was fifteen, and even now, unless you're Charlie Chaplin, just step away from the mime.
Full disclosure, I was never a fan of Bowie in the 1970s, with his freaky clown impressions ... and less so of his late 1960s material. The 1980s stuff was a lot more interesting when he began to embrace funkier danceable stuff like "Fashion", and of course the Nile Rogers-produced material from "Let's Dance" onwards ...
So this is definitely not for me. Fans of early period Bowie might like it better ...
