Lonely Planet Boy
Taking a page out of David Bowie's book, Jobriath "fell to earth" in 1973, claiming that he came from outer space, except that where Bowie was just androgynous, Jobriath was openly gay, the first rock star of his kind. Unfortunately, the world just wasn't ready, and hence neither of Jobriath's albums for Elektra did well commercially; nowadays, of course, they are huge cult items, the best of which are collected here (by Morrissey, no less) on this 15-track collection. Think Hunky Dory -era Bowie mixed with Elton John...produced by Eddie Kramer!
