Review

Bowie's classic breakthough album, helped a great deal by Mick Ronson's guitar work and his arrangements. Mick was never given his due credit for his work in this period, but he didn't seem to mind - he just enjoyed playing guitar.

It is a difficult to pick out standout tracks on an album packed full of 'em. Every song's a winner - an absolute classic album, one every rock fan should own.
