REVIEWS:
RELEASED:
1997 (UK)
The Decca Record Company Deram 844 784-2 (1 CD)
(Digitally Re-mastered)
ADDITIONAL INFO:
Nothing new, but this is the first CD with all Bowie's
pre-Space Oddity songs in a chronological running order. The last four tracks
are taken from the Love
You Till Tuesday LP, so 'Ching-A-Ling' and 'Space Oddity' are edited,
'Sell Me A Coat' has extra backing vocals, and 'When I Live My Dream' is
the second version that was intended for single release.
Rumours are that originally also planned for
inclusion were alternate versions (with false starts and count-in's) of
the original Deram album tracks, plus the unreleased 'Pussy Cat', 'Back
To Where You've Never Been', 'Funny Smile', 'Bunny Thing', 'We Are Not Your
Friends' (an early version of 'We Are Hungry Men'), 'Waiting For The Man'
and the German versions of 'Love You Till Tuesday' and 'When I Live My Dream'.
