  • This album is so personal to me, discovered it at about 14. I've never heard anyone talking about it before. I've known all the lyrics off by heart since about 1984. Love it so much. You could even do a part twooo.

  • at the risk of being pedantic…space oddity was 1969 not 68….also not sure why a picture of Bill Wyman appears

  • Hunky is still the album with all my favourite Bowie moments. Do "Changes", "Oh You Pretty Things", and "Life on Mars" sound relatively simple? Try playing along with them!

  • Like many others I bought Ziggy Stardust first and then Hunky Dory. Both superb albums and I still think are his best.

  • Thanks, great narration & loads of detail. I've come to Bowie a bit late, didn't listen to his LP's in the 70's etc untill quite recently. Hunky Dory is a superb LP, the musicianship, song writing, arrangements and recording quality are all spot on. Mick Ronson was a big part of this LP, a brilliant bloke but like all Bowie's backing bands he dumped them. He was a bit like Neil Young in this respect, the music being the main over riding precedent but I can't help but feel in Bowies case, stardom & ambition was more to the fore. Still, he & the musicians who played on his songs left us some blinding music to listen to.

  • Really nice video. Probably my favourite Bowie album. Loved the really interesting factoid about the piano!

  • My number one hero of all times! ????
    Oddly enough, despite being a huge Bowie fan, I never bought this album. But after seeing this short video I know I will soon. I never had a good reason for not buying this album anyway. It just never happened. And now I’m really looking forward to it. So thanks a million. ????????

  • Good video except that Space Oddity wasn't recorded until June 1969 and released in Nov 69 after the moon landings. A hit for late 1969/70 not 1968 ????

  • Bowie also sang on Lou Reed Transformer, an album I often play in tandem with Ziggy ????

  • These consoles are being built again. They have an expanded eq now for modern needs. Built in California. With design input from old timers who are former Neve and Cadac maybe? They are in the north of England. The new company owner owned a Trident A range. He loves the Gus Dudgeon era Elton John and early Bowie and thought initially those were recorded on the A range. Trident historically has done nothing to clarify this as to bolster the legacy of Trident recording consoles. But the original A range designation at Trident studio was the Sound Techniques console. There is a fascinating video on this console’s history on the Sunset Sound YouTube channel.

  • The Spiders From Mars, era was Bowie's best. Having a real rock band behind him, added some much needed testosterone. Thanks MMO.

  • Fantastic album. It sounds great after 50+ years later, a sure testimony to the quality of analog recording.. Thanks for posting.
