Decca's 1981 album Another Face is another repackaging of Bowie's late '60s recordings, the music where he made after leaving his mod bands and before he becamea glam rock alien. In other words, it's his Anthony Newley-esque campy British music, highlighted by "The Laughing Gnome" and "Please M. Gravedigger" but also the quite nice "London Boys" and "Love You Til Tuesday," two songs that highlight his developing theatrical pop skills. This music is available elsewhere, in packages that offer more of these sides and are easier to find, but this is a nice set of 14 highlights from these transitional recordings. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
