David Bowie Instagram – SORROW SINGLE IS FIFTY TODAY

“You’re out there playing your high class games of sorrow…”

As you know, next week marks the 50th anniversary of Bowie’s #1 album Pin Ups, originally released 19th October 1973.

Just one single was issued from the album in the UK, a version of The McCoys’ Sorrow, which later enjoyed wider recognition via The Mersey’s rendition. 

Bowie’s superb stab at the song reached #3 in the UK and it also gave him his first #1 anywhere in the world when it hit the top spot in Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa.

Following mono adverts of the Pin Ups sleeve advertising Sorrow in this week’s music press fifty years ago, variations of our main image (taken by @therealmickrock) were used in the promotion of Sorrow, as you can see from the second slide, including three UK versions of the sheet music. 

The sweet surprise all those years ago was another cover, Bowie’s sublime version of Amsterdam on the B side of Sorrow…more of which soon.

David Bowie Instagram – A REALITY TOUR KICKS OFF 20 YEARS AGO TONIGHT

“Welcome to Reality…”

The first leg of David Bowie’s A Reality Tour proper commenced twenty years ago today on 7th October 2003 at the Forum Copenhagen in Denmark.

A Reality Tour played at venues worldwide into the summer of 2004, and at well over 100 shows it became the longest of Bowie’s career.

Did you attend any of the concerts? If so, what are your memories of the tour?

The images here were taken by @BlamSnap at rehearsals in Brussels in Belgium a few days earlier, while the Reality album was still at its peak position of #3 on the UK album chart. 

Speaking of Reality, Jason Draper celebrated its 20th anniversary with this piece over on ThisIsDig!: https://www.thisisdig.com/feature/reality-david-bowie-album-story/ (Linktree in bio)
