I suggest reading Open up and Bleed, the Iggy story, to Rob and Spectral. It hits on this stuff, and how the author having the inside look at this stuff, explained how Iggy thought David was taking too much credit for their collaboration. Iggy was very weary of that stuff and David was the utmost gentleman about it. But certainly the IDiot and Lust for Life could have had David's name on them too. Looking at them and the liners you almost don't even know David was involved. David was alot more popular at that time too and that was mighty generous of him. Iggy was out of control during the majority of his career, and was truly awful to some people that played with him or were around him. He won't even talk to one of the Sales brothers and the guy, to this day, doesn't know why. It may have mentioned something in the book as to why, but it was so dumb i can't remember it either. iggy could be one cold, selfish, prick. But look, David was not dumb. They helped each other. But realize this too, those particular Iggy albums were very cutting edge..much more Bowie's influence as you can hear from Low,Lodger, Monsters and all that stuff. It was David that took Iggy and brought him to Berlin and took in all the arty culture that was Bowie. One listen to Sister Midnight and you know its true.
