Our Take

Ladies and gentlemen, hold onto your Ziggy Stardust lightning bolt face paint, because we're about to take a trip back to the swinging 60s with none other than the legendary David Bowie. Yes, that's right, we're diving into "The Deram Anthology 1966-1968," a collection of Bowie's early work that showcases his evolution from a quirky mod rocker to the space-age glam god we all know and love.

Let's start by addressing the elephant in the room - Bowie's time with Deram Records may not be as well-known as his later collaborations with major labels, but make no mistake, this period was crucial in shaping his unique sound. From the jangly guitars of "Can't Help Thinking About Me" to the psychedelic swirl of "Silly Boy Blue," Bowie's versatility and innovation shine through on every track.

There's a rawness and energy to these recordings that captures the spirit of the 60s, but also hints at the sonic experiments Bowie would later become famous for. Tracks like "Rubber Band" and "Love You Till Tuesday" showcase his gift for crafting catchy pop tunes with a twist, while "When I Live My Dream" and "In The Heat of the Morning" foreshadow the grandiose theatricality that would define his later work.

So, if you're a Bowie completist or just a casual fan looking to dig deeper into his discography, "The Deram Anthology 1966-1968" is a must-listen. It's a fascinating glimpse into the early days of one of music's most enigmatic and influential figures, and a reminder that Bowie was always ahead of his time.

About the artist

David Bowie

Ah, David Bowie. The chameleon of rock. The shape-shifter of pop. The icon of androgyny. This man needs no introduction, but I'll give him one anyway. Bowie burst onto the scene in the 1970s, dazzling us with his flamboyant stage presence and out-of-this-world personas. From Ziggy Stardust to the Thin White Duke, he captivated audiences with his groundbreaking music and avant-garde style. But it's not just Bowie's theatricality that sets him apart. His music is a genre-bending blend of rock, pop, electronic, and everything in between. Whether he's crooning "Space Oddity" or getting funky with "Let's Dance," Bowie's discography is as diverse as it is innovative. And let's not forget his collaborations with the likes of Queen, Lou Reed, and Iggy Pop, which further solidify his status as a musical legend. Bowie's impact on the industry is undeniable. He paved the way for countless artists to embrace their individuality and push the boundaries of creativity. And his influence continues to be felt today, with musicians of all genres citing him as a major inspiration. So here's to David Bowie, the man who showed us that music knows no limits and that being yourself is the greatest gift of all. Rest in peace, Starman.
