SANTA MONICA '72 (GOLDEN
YEARS)Rescued from the vaults and given its first official airing, Santa
Monica '72 is a straightforward live recording of a radio broadcast during
David Bowie's first US tour. That was the year, of course, when he famously
announced his bisexuality to the press, adopted the full tufty-haired,
jump-suited David Bowie persona and finally became a star. Changes, Space
Oddity, Jean Genie, Life On Mars, they're all here, as are the famously
lumpen Spiders From Mars. Yet when Mick Ronson cracks the whip, it's not
hard to recall what all the fuss was about. Even without any visual
distraction or the benefit of any production niceties, this is still a
tangible slice of rock history.
