DAVID BOWIE - David Bowie (1967)
320
David Bowies mid 60s career was less than enigmatic. By the onset of 1966 he had racked up three singles (with at least three different backing bands) on three different labels encompassing at least three genres. The later three were under the guidance of Shel Talmy , best known for his work with The Who, The Kinks etc. Three more resounding (but brilliant) flops ensued under the producing hand of Tony Hatch on the Pye label left him as a man without a contract. The untitled David Bowie LP was released on June 1, 1967 in the UK as Deram DML 1007. It is worthy to note through no coincidence, that Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band was released on the same day. Though David Bowie failed to chart and it remains to this day one of Bowies least favorite LPs it is (to quote one of former producer Tony Hatchs compositions) a sign of the times. The summer of 1967 was known to many as The Summer Of Love, but in David Bowies world (then his parents semi-detached at #4 Plainstow Grove in the London suburb ofBromley,) flowers and hippies were far from the mix of Ray Davies like social observations and a picture of an England where village greens, henpecked relatives and child murders sat at ease with in crowd night spots, Eastern religion (Bowies Buddhism flirtation was just beginning) and high priced fashion models.
David Bowie's first album is a pretty cool little record. If you like Bowie or quirky mid-60's British pop, then you really can't go wrong.
