Re: Bowie Covers 33 and 1/3 ' RE: (TV) Verlaine track on new Bowie compilation

[Phil Obbard <pobbard@yahoo.com>]

The original "Criminal World" is a fantastic, Roxy-worthy atmospheric track
.


Hear it here: http://youtu.be/fPLkzskWmq8

"Criminal World"
 will be one of the highlights of this set, sandwiched between two other hi
ghlights: Verlaine's "Kingdom Come" (superior to Bowie's cover) and Iggy's 
"Don't Look Down" (VASTLY superior to the awful mid-80s Bowie remake, for w
hich the world would be a measurably better place without).

this.  I like almost all of these Bowie's covers

I've never heard the original.  I was somewh

album 2013[?] even though it got nominate

the year.  Maybe I should give it a

was just rereading the Series/bo

Same Series that did the alb

As a Bowie fanatic, I have almost al
l of these tracks, but might pick this
up anyway, if only for the sheer e
clecticism of this disc ("Sorrow" AND
"Criminal World"??)

This is pa
rt of ongoing series from Ace Records. I have an earlier disc from
them, 
YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST, with a lot of interesting rarities, including
th
e original "Suspicious Minds", an echo of the version Elvis would make
ve
ry famous a few months later.
