Lulu / Lulu + Heaven and Earth and The Stars (2-for-1)

Lulu‘s 1973 self-titled album included covers of The Young Rascal’s Groovin’ and Aretha Franklin’s Do Right Woman, Do Right Man but it’s the 1976 follow-up Heaven and Earth and the Stars that is of most interest, since it contains The Man Who Sold The World (a #3 hit single in 1974) and Watch That Man – both produced by David Bowie and Mick Ronson. Those tracks, along with the inclusion of Bond theme The Man With The Golden Gun, make this an album worth owning. The brevity of the albums allow both to fit onto one CD.
