Did anyone assemble scrapbooks of Bowie cuttings in their school days? Ive just been in my attic and dug out over forty scrapbooks from 1972 onwards. I forgot just how important it was at the time. Anyone else as daft as me I wonder? I remember my mates at school thinking...what the!!!!!

I didnt keep scrap books as such. I did cut everything i could find from about 1982 onwards, and kept it all, but i stuck all the pin-ups on my bedroom wall.
Still have all my cuttings and they`re neatly filed away for research purposes cough cough

And yes, my mates did, and do think im weird !!

Love On.

I did made them from 1983 onwards have I think 17 of them. Stopped making them in the late '90. Still bought magazines then but kept them in one piece.

I did Bowie scrapbooks, well collected cuttings from when I became a fan (mid 1990) until 2002.

My first cutting was a review of my first Bowie concert 05/08/90, my last cuttings were probably the reviews of his Hammy '02 show.


I remember coming out of the gig & whilst waiting for the bus (tube strike) there was a feature about the concert in the late edition of the Standard already, even though it must have been written before the show.


I had every single Bowie mention in the NME during the 90's. I was a massive Suede fan, travelled up and down the country to see them live, so the Bowie & Brett interview was great. The NME Outside interview was interesting as it kinda predicted his next move: less art, more 'rock', the interviewer said he should update The Laughing Gnome and call it Laughing (A)gnostic. Maybe that was on Bowie's mind when he incorporated the 7 dwarves into Little Wonder.

I also remember how Bowie had regained his credibility when the NME put a poster of him in an issue from 2000.

Zi Duang Provence was great too, got that from late '92 until it ceased circulation. Crankin' Out was a bit too ambitious so it must have taken Pafford ages to create, no wonder he gave up.
