Bowie at the Beeb The Best of the BBC Sessions 68-72



David Bowie recorded a lot of music on the BBC . Not all of it is on here .There's more ....
  . Disc one May 68 to June 71 . Great stuff here . John Peel's dry tones introducing Bowie . Its all very jovial..  Bowie isn't fully formed yet . This happens when Mick Ronson joins the band ..  . Making  his debut on the Sunday Show, tracks 7 - 12 ... .Disc two  Hunky Dory to Ziggy Stardust . Is flawless .A couple of mentions.. Bowie doing his best Lou Reed on 'Queen Bitch' . 'Waiting For The Man' is particularly brilliant an indication  of how good the Spiders from Mars were live ...
