During the interview Tom explored the reasons why this album is considered so significant within Bowie's ouevre.

'It was Bowie's first step from being a folk guitarist, which is what he was before that, and stepping into the rock and roll arena,' explained Woodmansey.

Woodmansey played the drums in the highly influential performance by Bowie of Starman on Top of the Pops in 1972, a performance which inspired countless musicians.

'That's nice to have created that effect and brought more great bands into existence, or helped to anyway,' he said.
