'Ashes to Ashes' ruined the Major Tom character for me.

'Tell my wife I love her very much'
'Can you hear me Major Tom'
I mean, I felt really bad for him...only to find out that 'We know Major Tom's a junkie'.

Well if it makes you feel any better, the Major tom of "Space Oddity" isn't technically the same major tom in "Ashes to Ashes" since the one in "Ashes to Ashes" is Bowie himself, whereas the one in "Space Oddity" is just some astronaut.

Then he shows up again in "Hallo Spaceboy" (especially the Pet Shop Boys Remix), but I don't think that Major Tom connects to the other two either.

Space Oddity is what got me into Bowie (me and like a million other people, I'm sure)

not gonna lie, this was one of the first things I checked when I got into him.

meant as a last effort to get Bowie known, this film was left unreleased until the 80s. Real kitschy stuff, but it's real catchy stuff. Also has a real psychedelic version of Space Oddity, and Bowie's old group, Wings.

if they're gonna do any posthumous stuff, they best do an actual release for Toy.

is there any stuff from Toy that isn't on Heathen or Nothing has Changed tho?

Album Rating: 3.8
pretty sure a great deal of it went unreleased
Shadow Man was a bonus on Heathen I believe, Uncle Floyd would become Slip Away. Afraid would also feature on Toy, and was a lot more barebones from what I remember when it leaked five years ago.
The title track, retitled Your Turn to Drive, along with the remakes of Let Me Sleep Beside You and Shadow Man were on Nothing Has Changed.
The other tracks have not been released officially as far as I know. I'd honestly go for a box set comprised of outtakes, with Toy being the centrepiece.

Okay, to correct myself - here's the info straight from wiki
"Baby Loves That Way," “Shadow Man”, and "You’ve Got a Habit of Leaving" were released as B-sides to Heathen's singles,[4] and "Conversation Piece," was included on the limited-edition bonus disc of Heathen in 2002.
That still means a great amount of it is still out - just not officially.

yeah that's a tune
I've got all of those in some form except Baby Loves That Way I believe

Yeah, from memory that was an alright tune. I remember the production being a bit weak, but the album was a pretty solid 3.5.
