TIME Reminds me of Amsterdam you were posting about, Jacques Brel, or at least an attempt by Bowie to write in his style. Bowie did do a B-side of Amsterdam.

Great Album Aladdin Sane, Prettiest Star being my favourite with Ronsons Les Paul an unmistakable sound. I think the Album was inspired by Bowies half brother.

If anyone hasn't seen "Beside Bowie: The Mick Ronson Story" it's well worth a watch.
