Everybody has to start some where

The quest starts on Monday with the our first fortnight dedicated to 1967's self titled debut album.

But to get us in the mood for what we are about to recieve, here's some vintage examples of dodgy men's fashions.

Come on.... it'll only take 10 minutes.



These first 3 videos are all from Love you Till Tuesday, a 30 min promo made in 1969 that stayed on a dusty shelf until 1984 when 'The Bowiester's international stardom and the home video market were equally chunky.



Urk what an aweful video, and I really liked that song too. At least Dave-oh flouncing around in his suit over the opening credits was fun.

Still I suppose it's quite ahead of it's time, play some Spandau or ABC over this video and see who spots the difference.
Unlike our next video, which is at least as 60's as ITV 1's The Royal and Heart Beat.



According to Wikipedia, Dave-oh is wearing a wig through out this promo after he had his hair cut short for an audition for the film Virgin Soliders.

And now for a 17 year old D-boy, apparently not wearing a wig and complaining about being called 'Darling' on national TV.
