It was a very good album not as good as Stranded or For your pleasure but still brilliant.. I've bought everything Ferry and Roxy have recorded but usually only play the seventies stuff.
I was drinking with an old school mate tonight in the Board Inn and we got talking about a record shop that sold clothes called Mr Smiths in Fawcett st. I bought Country life from there and they also sold a. Jigsaw of the album cover. I bought the jigsaw which was in a shrink wrap but I never opened it, it's still as I bought it. I was thinking I wonder if it's worth anything, its got to be worth a few hundred. There's one for sale on eBay for just 20 quid, I've never been so disapointed in my life.

Nice Roxy memorabilia and great memory of Mr Smiths, great days!

Was having a conversation recently about weak Bowie tracks on albums and other songs that were recorded that could have replaced them.
Aladdin Sane remained unscathed.
 
The perfect album is more than just putting together 10 or 11 perfect songs. To me the perfect album has to encapsulate a time, an era. The perfect album has to reflect a generation or a youth movement. It might not even particularly be the best music, but it has to be important and forever be associated with a time and a place. Based on that I’d go for

Screamadelica
Straight outta Compton.

Pin ups was my favourite Bowie album and his version of Sorrow is one of my all time favourite songs.
I've got quite a bit of Roxy memorabilia going back to the seventies. Including a For Your Pleasure album cover mirror if you remember the fad for pub mirrors back then. That has to be worth something, not that I'd sell it mind.
Just looked it up and it's worth 60 to a hundred quid apparently.
