Last time I was in Los Angeles I went to Mel's Diner on Sunset Strip for breakfast a few times. Each time Peter Bogdanovich was there.

One more Bowie related archive thing that cropped up this week..

And another one - from Diana.

Just been sent this by a Scottish Bowie fan friend - from a local paper back in the day. 'The Human Oddity' indeed.

On further researching the album I've found that it actually was a Canadian release - and came out in 1981.

Yes, those World Of variants are interesting too. I have the bubble perm one in mono - but, interestingly enough (to me at least) - just found out that 'The mono edition of this collection is a fold-down of the stereo tape, and therefore does not contain the true mono mixes available prior and/or since on other releases.' Damn! Another favourite variant attached. A US pressing of even earlier material - from the three Pye singles (including the Lower Third one).

Re favourite foreign Bowie sleeve - this South African album from 1973 (basically Deram 'Images' comp in a different order) is a personal favourite. And not too pricey on Discogs too, if you fancy adding it to your record collection.
