Alt version of bowie's 1984? I was reading once in a review of diamonds dogs that there was a previously released version of 1984, apparently with more prominent guitar or something. Does anyone know anything about this? | |

i'd have to hit my bowie books for the most specific info, though right off hand i can recall the 1984/dodo medley recording that i think was meant for the 1984 stage show before the orwell estate said no to the idea. you can get that version from the ryko reissue or the recent 30th anniversary reissue of 'diamond dogs'...is that what you might be talking about? i know there's a lot of demo stuff from 'diamond dogs' floating around... | |

I think it's the "Dodo/1984" medley Anx mentioned. Originally recorded for a post-Ziggy tv special called "The 1980 Floor Show". It's the only alternate version I've ever heard. Available on the Diamond Dogs deluxe edition. [Edited 10/12/06 10:09am] There are three sides to every story. My side, your side, and the truth. And no one is lying.

Speaking of Bowie, anyone know whatever happened to the supposed 30th Anniversary reissue of Young Americans? It was all remixed and remastered, according to Tony Visconti, and ready to roll .... then nothing. There are three sides to every story. My side, your side, and the truth. And no one is lying.

they probably realized it was a crap package and went back to the drawing board. "I don't need your forgiveness, cos I've been saved by Jesus, so fuck you." | |

Bowie might have even said as much. I can't remember for sure. | |

Bowie might have even said as much. I can't remember for sure. There is still supposed to be a reissue of Station To Station on the cards, complete with the full Thin White Duke gig. But, knowing Bowie, this has probably changed. There are three sides to every story. My side, your side, and the truth. And no one is lying. Memories shared serve each one differently | |

I was hoping for some of his unreleased "Man Who Fell To Earth" instrumentals. | |
