This Wednesday on Listen Up!, we listen to some sounds from David Bowie’s record collection based on a list he submitted back in 2006.
“To be brief and to the point, I’ve often been asked for some of my first faves, most from many years ago (the discs not the requests) but these very special vinyls had a particular telling effect on how I would collect and listen to music in the years to come. This is an old list and has been around a bit but you may not have seen it so it gives me great pleasure to re-represent it one mo’ time. Here are 25 to start with.” – David Bowie
