Query: Throw 'em a life-Bowie!

Alongside several Mick Ronson solo releases and the one lone "Spiders From Mars" album, "Woody Woodmansey's U-Boat" completes the answer to any "whatever happened to..." questions regarding David Bowie's backup musicians from the "Ziggy" period (Woodmansey was the drummer). Although it bears no resemblance to Bowie material, this album, (once you get past the band's silly name and the comic book cover art)actually turns out to be a rather tasty collection of mid-70's power pop. The songs are quite catchy, usually sporting a heavy riff tempered by Beatle-y chords and vocals. Bowie completists will probably want a copy, as well as anyone who enjoys "roots" power pop like Artful Dodger,Topaz,or Badfinger.Remastering is excellent;part of a series of Bowie-related reissues by a British label.
