2014 collection that traces the career of David Bowie via songs he recorded by other writers. Presented in the (approximate) sequence he recorded his interpretations, the collection kicks off with Paul Revere & the Raiders' original version of 'Louie - Go Home', as covered by the 17 year-old Bowie as leader of Davie Jones & the King Bees in 1964, and concludes with 'I Took a Trip (On a Gemini Spaceship)' by maverick Texan 'outsider' musician the Legendary Stardust Cowboy, a song Bowie included on his 2002 album 'Heathen'. While promoting 'Heathen', Bowie recalled that he had been introduced to the Stardust Cowboy's work when they were with the same record company: '[They] gave me a stack of singles by this guy and I thought they were unbelievably atrocious, but in that wonderful way that you couldn't stop listening to them, they were so awful.' There are no prizes for guessing from whom Ziggy's surname was borrowed.
