David Bowie Instagram – PRESLEY DOES BOWIE ON THE BBC…OR DOES HE?

“Elvis is English…”

Ten years ago this week (26th December 2013), listeners to the 6 Music special, This Is Radio Clash, were pleasantly surprised to hear a message from Elvis Presley imitating David Bowie…or was it the other way around?

Make up your own mind here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p01nxvg7 (Linktree in bio)

For those of you that can’t access the BBC, here’s the text of the message to be read in a pretty convincing Elvis drawl: 

“Hello everybody, this is David Bowie making a telephone call from the US of A. At this time of the year, I can’t help but remember my British-ness and all the jolly British folk, so here’s to you and have yourselves a Merry little Christmas and a Happy New Year. Thank you very much.”

To complete the effect, one should perform the impersonation of Bowie’s take on Elvis over Johann Strauss Sr’s Radetzky March, Op. 228 on an Apple Mac so that the distinctive Mac volume control quack sound is audible on fade out.

David Bowie is pictured here with Paul Simonon of The Clash backstage at New York’s Shea Stadium when the band opened for The Who on October 12th, 1982.

The second image is Philip Castle’s rough for the Bowie/Elvis cover of the BBC Radio 1 1973 magazine, The Story Of Pop. Regular readers of this page will know well Castle’s work on Aladdin Sane.

David Bowie Instagram – ZIGGY STARDUST NEARLY THERE 52 YEARS AGO TODAY

“I could make it all worthwhile as a rock & roll star…” 

Though David Bowie’s hair had taken a tentative step towards the Ziggy cut, as evidenced by Louanne Richards portrait from November 1971, what we’re actually marking today is the move towards the final version of The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars album.

Two days before the 17th December 1971 UK release of Hunky Dory, a tape of Ziggy Stardust was delivered. (See 2nd image) 

Though still not the final tracklisting, here’s how that 15th December tape looked:

SIDE ONE
Five Years
Soul Love
Moonage Daydream
Round And Round
Port Of Amsterdam

SIDE TWO
Hang On To Yourself
Ziggy Stardust
Velvet Goldmine
Holy Holy
Rock And Roll Star
Lady Stardust

Here’s a reminder of the final album tracklisting:

SIDE ONE
Five Years 
Soul Love 
Moonage Daydream 
Starman 
It Ain’t Easy 

SIDE TWO
Lady Stardust 
Star 
Hang On To Yourself 
Ziggy Stardust 
Suffragette City 
Rock ’N’ Roll Suicide 

FOOTNOTE: The third image here (taken in Cyprus), is of David with Zowie the nit nurse inspecting the Christmas ’71 hairdo, which had been shorn even further since November.
