And I must say that I wish "Bombers" had been included on the album instead of "Fill Your Heart".

that is such a good sing-a-long song, love it!

And wasn't it supposed to segue directly into "Andy Warhol"? It should have.

yeah, i can imagine that!

i think this could have been a real hit, but maybe it's too political, with the queen mentioned and everything.

Bombers (Bowie): this famous outtake eventually found a legal status on the Rykodisc/EMI version of Hunky Dory. Two versions fade into 'Andy Warhol', one lasting 3'14" (Caught In The Act (MIM-XXX/400)) and the other 3'24" (released on the official RCA BOWPROMO 1A-1/1B-1 promo LP, later included on the ChangesThreeDavidRobertJones (Grace AZL1-1984) bootleg). A basic demo with Bowie on piano is released on The Axeman Cometh (DB003). A short version of 2'36" and a fully orchestated version supposedly circulate on tape. See also BBC Performances section for a 1971 radio performanc (included on Bowie At The Beeb) and the Revelations album.

during the BBC performance he switches lyrics and laughs.

i have been quiet on the org for a few months, but this has brought me back!

Awesome!

I found this cool tidbit about a "Hunky Dory" outtake cassette. And there was a rumored album that was supposed to come between Hunky Dory and Ziggy.

i always thought it was a big step from HUNKY DORY to ZIGGY (except for the song STARMAN)

but then again... who would imagine HUNKY DORY after THE MAN WHO SOLD THE WORLD?

dawntreader said:

Stylistically, they are quite different. But the sound and production of the 2 are quite compatible.

A lot of the songs from those albums were written and recorded concurrently.

"Queen Bitch" could've easily been on Ziggy. So could "Life On Mars?"

yes, also FIVE YEARS i guess. but the feel of the work of art as a whole is so completely different. like Ziggy had not entered Bowie yet. also on ZIGGY there are more men's voices to be heard, HUNKY DORY sounds more solo.

dawntreader said:

Yeah, I know what you mean. The feel of Ziggy is more like Aladdin, but the sound of it is more like Hunky, if that makes any sense.

it does!

(are you jacking your own thread? we need more votes! the discussion is very cool though)

dawntreader said:

We can jack these threads any which way we please! Plus, this one's closed for voting, so it doesn't matter.

true... but i wanted to fuel the voting.

anyway, i gotta get ready, i am going to see PERFUME in the cinema.

but i'll be back!
