The next phase of the Album Project is to listen to all David Bowie's studio albums - that's 25 albums! And so I started with 'David Bowie' (1967), which was a very odd album. When he released his debut album he was 20 years old. Apparently at this early stage of his career he was influenced by various people including The Kinks. I guess the crazy story songs (like 'Uncle Arthur') fit with that. It's an odd album really. I can't say I like all the songs, but some are great. 'Little Bombadier' is very sad.

The Album Project continues... I have now listened to 'Something Else by The Kinks' (1967). I didn't enjoy this quite as much as 'Face to Face', though it ends with the iconic (is that the right word?) song 'Waterloo Sunset'. Possibly one of the best songs ever written. :)
