If I could go to any time in rock music history, it might be Berlin from 1976-to 1977 to hang out with Iggy and Bowie.

This is the answer, no matter what the question is.

As an aside, I was lucky enough to pick up an OG pressing of this a few months back. Still searching for a nice copy of Lust For Life. Amazing albums.

IIRC Ian Curtis killed himself after listening to this album.

Anyways, great album, it’s been too long since I’ve listened to it.

" Calling sister Midnight...."

Love this album. and I can't hear Nightclubbing without thinking of the film Trainspotting.

This one and Lust For Life sound like they could have been one long album. But I like Lust For Life better because it has The Passenger and Lust For Life on it. And I like Grace Jones' Nightclubbing better. But not Bowie's China Girl. The one on this album is better.
