Notes:  Bowie has no problem finding people to record with and this album is full of assorted artists from various walks of life. A very accessible album, especially considering some of the other output from this period and his studio collaborations with Brian Eno. A few of the songs went on to become part of the radio collective and live on in perpetuity on the 80's rock airwaves. A very nice mixture of differing media make for stylistic cover. You'll find a few representations of Bowie's other works of this period blended into the back cover.
