This album is excellent if you love David and want to go back into his music roots. He very much admired Anthony Newley when he was younger and tried to sing like him on this album. I like the album because it really shows what imagination David had in those early days and the different varieties/styles of music he liked trying out. If your a collector of Bowie this is a must!

This compilation reflects David Bowie's early career in that it is a mixed bag in terms of quality and style, but there is enough good stuff here to warrant a purchase for anybody interested in his early years.
Currently you can't get a CD of his 1967 debut album and although most of it is on this CD a couple of the original tracks are missing. Also, the version of Rubber Band isn't as good as the album take.
I would recommend the Deram Anthology CD over this as all the songs from this period are on it and you get both the single and album mixes.
But if this is cheap enough then buy it and download the missing tracks.
