Thanks. I bought it and Ziggy oin the same day. They were my first Bowie albums, and, honestly, I listen to BTWN more than I listen to Ziggy any more. Does that mean I'm old?
A 'best of' aside,
Ziggy and
BTWN were my first two proper albums, as well. The
Jump They Say video, which had been introduced by Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth on the deeply missed
120 Minutes, seems to have been the catalyst which tipped me over from being a casual listener into something nearing on a borderline obsession* which continues. Unlike yourself, however, I did not pick up the two on the same day. There must have been a month or two between them.
*also deemed an illness by more than one individual over the years.
