“Hooked to the silver screen”
This week we’re looking at 1971’s Hunky Dory album ahead of the release of the David Bowie (Five Years 1969 – 1973) box set (due September 25th).
One of the best-loved songs on the album is Life On Mars? which became a #3 hit when it was released as a single in 1973.
The song is frequently listed among Bowie fans’ favourite songs. In fact, it remains the UK’s best-selling vinyl single of the decade so far according to The Official Charts Company.
One of the factors that has no doubt contributed to Life On Mars? continued appreciation, is the stunning video which was directed by photographer Mick Rock.
