Perfect weekend, which will be made more so by a County win for Flynny!

Struggling a tad with Monday and Wednesday for next week - but Love You Till Tuesday and Thursday's Child will make appearances in due course!

Is an absolute classic from his Deram days, you really need to give those tracks a listen, Maccy. You may love them (which I do), you may hate them, but at least you'll know where it all started!

I do, too, matey. Have the London Boy album and a now-quite-rare Early On compilation - which, between them, provide a pretty complete coverage of his '60s output. And I agree - it's all part of what made Bowie the unique and special artist that he was.
No coincidence, either, that I like Be My Wife so much. It was an extraordinary nod to his pre-fame days - albeit more snarly and very 'mockney' - on the otherwise experimental, forward-looking Low.

'Early On' is an excellent collection, matey, but it's very of its time.
That initial 'Jones' era wasn't in the same vein as his Deram years, and that is where I think he found the story teller within. The Deram years was also (I think) the first real instance of him reinventing himself.

Yes - I'd agree with that, Gaz-man. London Boy (which spans the Deram era) certainly gets more plays at Macc Towers, too!

Sod all this manager talk, let's have some more Bowie. Here's a belting track from the 1987 'Never Let Me Down' album:

... and here's one from his 2013 album 'The Next Day', proving that, after ten years out of the limelight, he still had that old Bowie magic:
