THE STORY
The reviewer highlights Bowie’s very unusual material and good voice with Anthony Newley connotations. While noting that his voice matters little when he makes fine songs of this ilk, the writer concludes that if you don’t know what it means, it’s like having a hit record anyway and deserves instant recognition.
CONTEXT AND NOTES
This early review comes during Bowie’s pre-fame period, shortly after he left The Buzz and was releasing solo material on Deram Records. “Love You Tuesday” was part of his early experimental phase before the major breakthrough with “Space Oddity” in 1969.
