4.0 out of 5 stars A classic, but not for the casual fan, March 28, 2000

This review is from: Bowie: The Pitt Report (Paperback)

Kenneth Pitt was David Bowie's manager from 1967 (the year of David's debut album) to 1969 (the year of David's first hit single, "Space Oddity"). In this book he describes in detail the events that took place in that short but pivotal period of David's career. By now, of course, Pitt's accounts have been exhaustingly recycled in other Bowie books. If you're a casual fan who just wants a good, comprehensive biography, you're better off with the recently released "Strange Fascination", by David Buckley (available only in Britain at the time of writing). But if you're a bona fide "Bowiephile", this book is mandatory. And it will never be outdated, since it covers a time span in the past which will always be history and can never be changed.
