Changesbowie

Search: Stardust
by: David Bowie

Release Date April 01, 1990
Changes is an intelligent selection of Bowie's best up to the middle 1980s. All of this music has aged well, from 1969's Space Oddity, through the glam rock (Jean Genie/Rebel Rebel) and plastic soul (Young Americans/Fame) periods to his return to rock (Ashes To Ashes) and exploration of sleek dance-pop (Let's Dance).

China Girl and Modern Love, although huge hits, don't represent the best in his work and I would have preferred Wild Is The Wind or Word On A Wing from the Station To Station album, which is represented by Golden Years. But in this sort of compilation, commercial success and chart position weigh the heaviest.

The compilation is an impressive showcase of Bowie's versatility and mastery of styles. Genie, Diamond ... Read More:

Words/Music

Search: Stardust
by: Sir John Betjeman, Mike Read

Release Date September 04, 2006
I love this - the perfect marriage of poetry and music. I can take it out again after a few months' rest and be surprised by some songs that didn't stand out for me the previous time, but now do ... The only problem is that there are loud glitches on the last two tracks on the first disc. I thought it was an isolated problem, so I ordered a new copy, only to find that it's exactly the same. Does anyone else have the same problem and is it a manufacturing error to be found on all copies?

Poetry in Motion

Search: Stardust
by: Various Artists, Sir John Betjeman, Mike Read

Release Date May 01, 2002
I bought Poetry in Motion on cassette many years ago for the princely sum £0.99 as a bargain clearance item in a well known high street store. I fell in love with it and all the 16 tracks.
The poetry of John Betjeman is not always so easy to read and the efforts of Mike Read in putting the words to music have instantly made the poetry more fun, not that it wasn't already enjoyable. I hadn't realised just how talented Mike Read is, his radio shows were only scratching the surface of his abilities.
I played this cassette to literal destruction and then attempted to find another copy to no avail. I did find a CD advertised but it was sold before I had time to buy it. I contacted the record label, Eagle but they didn't have any copies and said ... Read More:

Tim-Tayshun

Search: Stardust
by: Red Ingle

Release Date September 03, 1997
This is a wonderful CD, that's the first thing to say about it. If you have even a moderate appreciation of Spike Jones City Slickers you should get this and move on to full, whole hearted appreciation of one of the leading lights of Jones' group a few years later and under his own steam.

This is a CD which features, amongst other things and in no particular order, banjos, kazoos, washboards, fiddles, steel guitars, trumpets, madcap vocals, crazy stage names, parodies, great musicianship, side-splitting comedy. Songs called "You Can't Be Fit As A Fiddle When You're Tight As A Drum", "I Love You (for Seventy Mental Reasons), "A Irishman Will Never Fight ('Till An Argument's At Hand)", "Get Up Off'n That Floor Hannah" and of course the magnificent ...
