It takes a hardcore fanatic to worry and scheme on getting all the songs from such a terrible record. I suggest starting a stamp collection, or taking bike rides working on your bills or reading a book. Don't get involved in this Glass Spider stuff. No on wins in situations like this. You got the "Heroes" rykodisc you said? See isn't that nice? There is no Joe the Lion type songs on NLMD i can assure you. And as for the rest of you..c'mon break it up! Stop encouraging this kind of stuff. You all should be ashamed of yourselves.

I bought the original cd, I find that 'Too Dizzy' is not that bad compared to some late 80's songs that I have heard, some just make me want to cry.

Personally, between Let's Dance, Tonight, NLMD and the soundtrack/bsides from that period, I think there's like one good album's worth of really outstanding material.

1. Modern Love
2. China Girl
3. Let's Dance
4. Puttin' Out Fire
5. This is Not America
6. Tonight
7. Absolute Beginners
8. Blue Jean
9. Time Will Crawl
10. Zeroes
11. When the Wind Blows

If Bowie had just released this as an album, rather than the trilogy of mediocrity that he did, it would have been a classic, and possibly one of his best. Ah well.

Let's Dance, as an album, still stands shoulders and head above the other two at least.

And yes, I have 2 CD copies of NLMD - the one with 'Too Dizzy' and the one with the three bonus tracks.

A fan's gotta do what a fan's gotta do. (And obviously that includes getting all the crap stuff as well as the good stuff. Go Tin Machine!)

Is small life so manic,
Are these really the days?

It may have taken me almost three-and-a-half years but I finally have both versions now, so I guess my work here is done.

Out!

You should have listened to Tom Wood's sage advise.
