It has to be all that over 50s flower power buying them from Amazon. How is it doing on iTunes and Spotify?

Everyone else either (a) has never heard of David Bowie or (b) just downloads it from the usual places. A friend bought a copy for her daughter ( why I don't know ) but daughter's Mac notebook hasn't got a CD/DVD drive lol.

Following Errol's recommendation I had a look for the White Duke and found him in Paris here

not bad at all thank you Errol.

I also remember a very irritating song "Major Tom to Earth Control" ( I thought it was birth control at the time) and an incomprehensible movie "The Man Who Fell Down To Earth".

I was more a Doors and big bikes fan myself, not into extra wide loons with spangles and so on. 501 rules ok.

Good heavens


David Bowie's new album is number one.
Mind you, there has been rather a lot of hype
