Quote: Was privileged to see him in 1972 on his Ziggy Stardust tour - AWESOME!!
grrr when he played Sheffield on the Ziggy tour 1973 I think, I was 12 years old. I'd been to see a gig the week before it might have been Mott the Hoople. My next door neighbour had a spare ticket and asked my mum if I'd like to go. She said no he's already been to one this week! So I missed a legendary gig - I was gutted. I wasn't allowed to go and see Lou Reed either :-(
Quote: Mott the Hoople, was that not the tour with Queen as support band?
No I never saw Queen. I think I got the gig near Bowie wrong....it's all a blur. Just looked up Mott the Hoople albums and I must have seen them in 1974 because it was for The Hoople album tour.

Lol me as well 
I dumped all my old vinyl stuff just a few months ago. Was feeling a bit guilty of all the bargains I`d picked at a local charity shop so gave them the lot, except two.
I still have the Honey Drippers volume one that has a manufacturing fault, two A side stickers and rare
The other album by a band called Twelfth Night that I`ve been planing to give to an old friend but have not yet plucked up the courage
In the early Eighties this friends band where left gutted loosing there place playing at Reading festival to Twelfth Night and I don`t think they ever got over it
As for Bowie, I don`t think I have a fav.
Stevie - Nice collection of albums. Got all 4 too, vinyl & CD. Funny but I've had Transformer on my ipod for the last week or so, great album, I'd forgotten how great it was. The first 4 Roxy albums are classics, ever heard Bowies cover of "If There Was Something"?

Gatefold sleeve? I have it too somewhere, I think the band were local to me.
I was too young to see the early Bowie tours, an early 80's child really, but when all my mates were listening to Duran Duran, I was deep into Bowie, Iggy, early Roxy/Eno, Yes & the fab four. Remember my mates getting excited over Bowies China Girl and me saying it was a cover and that Bowie's back catalogue was much much better.

Yes, both bands local to Reading

Bet you prefer them on vinyl (I do) - I'm convinced it's all the crackling before the music bursts into life and the thump, thump, thump that indicates the need to turn the record over!!
