David Bowie was always able to get his fans to suspend their belief. Whether it was Ziggy Stardust, Aladdin Sane, the Thin White Duke, or his many other personas, his fans were right there with him. "Sue (Or In A Season Of Crime)" found the seasoned artist exploring epic jazz pop alongside the Maria Schneider Orchestra with longtime producer Tony Visconti at his side. Bowie explores the outer reaches of his voice while spinning a tale of lost love. The chaotic B side seems to be a cathartic moment for the story's narrator. Released by Columbia on limited edition 10" vinyl.
