Bowie 1. Outside
Rip of the cd I bought when it came out. Still remember playing it on my just purchased naim cd player and nait 3 system for the first time.
I’m listening to the crime adventure The Real Dennis Truelove on Radio 4Extra with Fine Time Fontaine.
Each episode starts with a haunting harmonica which is very Dylanesque. Four episodes in and I eventually work out it’s the title track to this album which I haven’t listened to since I bought it way back when.

Given this by a friend, not everyone’s cup of tea but it’s been enjoyable while doing some paperwork.
Early morning rave, tunes to hit the weights to.
