  • Overall:

    Best of early Bowie

    By Jay D.  Oct 24, 2002

    Absolutely the best representation of Bowie's early years(1969-1974). Every song here is a classic. Glam rock at its finest.

  • Overall:

    every song is fantastic

    how can anyone not like this disc? too many great songs for someone not to find at least one they like.

Pro Reviews: Best of David Bowie 1969/1974

  • All Music Guide

    Early in 1997, David Bowie sold the rights to his RCA catalog to EMI, and the first release to appear under the new agreement was The Best of 1969-1974, which was part of EMI's limited-edition 100th Birthday series. Instead of playing it straight, the 20-track set offers both the predictable classics -- "The Jean Genie," "Space Oddity," "Starman," "Drive In Saturday," "Ziggy Stardust," "Suffragette City," "Changes," "Sorrow," "The Man Who Sold the World" -- and relative obscurities, like the B-side "Velvet Goldmine," Bowie's version of "All the Young Dudes" and alternate takes of "John, I'm Only Dancing" and "The Prettiest Star." There are also album tracks like "Oh You Pretty Things" and "Life on Mars" that have become classics, making The Best of 1969-1974 an impressive, reasonably thorough overview of Bowie's glam years.

Biography

David Bowie

The cliché about David Bowie says he's a musical chameleon, adapting himself according to fashion and trends. While such a criticism is too glib, there's no denying that Bowie demonstrated remarkable skill for perceiving musical trends at his peak in the '70s. After spending several years in the late '60s as a mod and as an allaround musichall entertainer, Bowie reinve... Read more
