Album Notes
This is an Enhanced audio CD which contains regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.Personnel: David Bowie (vocals, guitar, saxophone, piano); Mick Ronson (guitar); Rick Wakeman (piano); Trevor Bolder (trumpet, bass); Mick Woodmansey (drums).Digitally remastered by Peter Mew & Nigel Reeve (1999, Abbey Road Studios).Subdued and acoustic, HUNKY DORY was the calm before the storm for David Bowie, who would explode a year later with ZIGGY STARDUST. This was Bowie in transition--hinting at his love for the theatric ("Life On Mars?"), and showing off his ability to suss out a generation's evolving self-obsession ("Changes").HUNKY DORY was also a tour of the posters framed on young Bowie's impressionable walls. His obvious romance with pre-punk New York City is evident in "Andy Warhol," and his fascination with the public-private schism shows up in "Song For Bob Dylan." In hindsight, "Dylan" seems an introduction to Bowie's idea that a rock performer needs an alter ego. He was preparing for his transformation into Ziggy Stardust.

NME (10/02/1993)

Ranked #12 in NME's list of The Greatest Albums Of The '70s.
NME (09/18/1993)

...HUNKY DORY not only represents Bowie's most engaging album musically, but also finds him once more writing literally enough to let the listener examine his ideas comfortably...
Rolling Stone (01/06/1972)

Ranked #16 in Q's 100 Greatest British Albums
Q (06/01/2000)

5 stars out of 5 - ...the turning point: a roller-coaster ride through umpteen influences and styles, opening with 'Changes' and tipping its 'bibberty-bobberty hat' at Dylan, Warhol, Aleister Crowley, Lou Reed and Bowie's mentally ill half-brother Terry Burns...

If you've yet to hear this album in your life time then make a point of doing so. If you never hear another album again in your life time, make it this one. Everyone should own a copy of Hunky Dory. This is where Bowie truly stepped up to the mark and changed song writing forever. A true and undoubted genius at work. Unparalled.

Review created: 08/03/08

The main reason I bought this CD was for Kooks & Queen Bitch - both songs I LOVE. Oh You Pretty Things is also a FAB Bowie classic with the piano intro just urging you to listen to more. Great CD with a wide varied range of Bowie songs.

  bavid bowie- hunky dory(remastered) (cd 1999)
Review created: 04/06/07
by:

I bought it because it was a record I listened to when I was a teenager and life on mars was recently on the TV. The quality of the CD is excellent and it is in a strong case with the original album cover. It was easy to find on eBay and I had a couple of people bidding on it. It was worth the money for the sentimentality of it.
