Counting down the finest albums from the Chameleon of Rock
Pressured by his record label into delivering a new album in time for the Christmas season of 1973 and encouraged by his manager to withhold original material until his publishing deal was renegotiated, David Bowie solved his conundrum by bashing out a covers album. Easier said than done, though.
Drummer Mick Woodmansey left in frustration, so the band onisn’t quite the Spiders but it is the last time guitarist Mick Ronson pops up on a Bowie record and the last LP to be produced by Ken Scott, so it serves as a bit of a fizzy epilogue to the classic era: Bowie is deliberately in second gear but still delivers some trashy thrills.
