Liner Note Author: Paul Lester.
Long before he launched himself into orbit with Major Tom on 1969's seminal "Space Oddity," David Bowie, like many other aspiring young pop stars in mid-'60s London, released a series of singles steeped in American R&B and aimed to appeal to both Mods and the Georgie Fame set. The brief six-song I DIG EVERYTHING, collects the three singles Bowie released for the Pye label in 1966. While these songs are a far cry from Bowie at his most creatively inspired, they're an interesting glance at a towering artist in a formative stage, and present yet another stylistic shade in the notorious artistic chameleon's career. The set comes packaged as three individual discs with the original artwork and an extensive booklet.
