Our Take

David Bowie's Transition On Air 1967-71 (Blue Vinyl) is a kaleidoscopic journey through the early sonic experiments of one of music's most iconic figures. Packed with rare live recordings, alternate takes, and unreleased tracks, this collection offers a glimpse into Bowie's artistic evolution during a pivotal period of his career.

From the groovy psychedelia of "The Width of a Circle" to the haunting beauty of "Cygnet Committee," Transition On Air showcases Bowie's unparalleled ability to blend genres and push boundaries. The raw energy of tracks like "Hang On to Yourself" and "Suffragette City" will transport listeners back to the heyday of glam rock, while the introspective ballads "Wild Eyed Boy from Freecloud" and "Life on Mars?" reveal Bowie's more subdued side.

The audio quality of these recordings is surprisingly crisp, capturing the essence of Bowie's live performances with a clarity that is rare for archival releases. The inclusion of rare interviews and radio sessions adds depth to the collection, offering fans a behind-the-scenes look at Bowie's creative process.

Whether you're a die-hard Bowie aficionado or a casual listener looking to expand your musical horizons, Transition On Air is a must-have addition to any record collection. So grab your favourite pair of glittery platforms, pour yourself a glass of absinthe, and let Bowie's ethereal vocals transport you to a world of eccentricity and wonder.

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.
