This is My Lovely Wife's all-time favourite Saturday night record. She has an original dog-eared old copy of this LP; it was the sound of her early teens...
To our shame, some of us post-punk babies took a little longer to discover this-period Bowie.
David Bowie - 'Drive-In Saturday' (1973)

I claim the moral high ground here. One thing that always bothered me about punk was the “year zero” attitude that dismissed everything that came before (unless it was Iggy Pop). Mind you, Dame David came off better than most. Can I really claim the moral high ground just for being old enough to have started buying records before punk? Well, it’s worth a try.
ReplyDeleteThat 'Year Zero' stuff was nonsense wasn't it?
