That is indeed very good news, I was in HMV last week and saw two teenage girls looking at Ziggy Stardust, One said to the other 'look David Booooowiesss album is only £2.99, lets buy it' and they did, I was most pleased.

With luck that will lead them to hear further Bowie albums.

I heard this news on Radio 1 the other day too. Even treated to a snippet of Suffragette City! Down to £2.99, there's no excuse now, everyone must own a copy of this album.

Its about time I had a signature

That's how I got into Bowie, after buying Bowie at the Beeb I got Ziggy and look at me now. Obsessed.

I discovered Mr Bowies music when I was only 10 years old, thanks to an elder brother, only I couldn't afford the albums he had, so I bought the 1960s material, where basically my heart still is

It soon became an obsession for me too, I remember the first ever time I heard 'Moonage Daydream' Mick Ronsons guitar blew my mind, It was the nearest I had heard to symphony type sound on an electric guitar.

Here I am years later interested all types of music, mainly due to following Mr Bowie's interests, he's the best teacher in the world IMO.
