just come across this - a really quite wonderful - and very moving - version IMHO. (apols if its already been posted)
You jammy git! Nice one.Got a copy of The Man Who Sold the World for £1 at a car boot sale in Brighton a few years back. I had a copy already but this one was in better nick. Turned out it was signed and had a letter from Bowie to a fan inside

1979 “Boys Keep Swinging” [2017 Remix] (David Bowie): This song goes back to the swagger element. I really liked David when he was being a real rock & roller, and ‘Boys Keep Swinging’ is swaggering rock & roll. It can’t be any more obvious about that, in fact, if you listen to the lyrics.
One thing I loved about recording that song was that we all swapped instruments, and honestly that was the best everyone could play on the swapped instruments. George Murray, the bass player, was playing the organ. Carlos Alomar, the guitarist, of course, on that is the drummer! On the new mix I’ve really beefed up his drumming, to make the song all that it could be. I mean, if you’re going to remix a song, you might as well pull out all the stops. Also, when they swapped instruments, Dennis Davis ended up on bass, but he’s left-handed! So we never ended up using his part. I ended up playing it when we were mixing the record later in New York at the Hit Factory.
David felt bad, so he credited Dennis, though. And Adrian Belew put the solo on in New York, as well. It was fun and memorable, too, because we did an experiment for ‘Boys Keep Swinging’ and ‘Fantastic Voyage.’ They have the exact same chord changes in the exact same key, but with totally different lyrics, so a completely different feel.
There was actually a third track, because we wanted to do three with the same sequence, but completely changing the character of each song with the approach. We succeeded on the two, but I don’t even remember what the third track was. But there were definitely no lyrics, so even if someone were to find it, it would be one take that was just miserable. But we were able to accomplish what we set out to do. I remember, when we finished, we said to each other, ‘We’ve done it! Fantastic!’
Oh fuck off. Go start a fresh thread full of your fascinating allegations.He was a rapist nonce. Why do people celebrate anything about him?
So you're saying he didn't shag underage girls?Oh fuck off. Go start a fresh thread full of your fascinating allegations.
You said he was a 'rapist nonce'. Who did he rape? Where and when was the court case?So you're saying he didn't shag underage girls?
Do you know what statutory rape is?You said he was a 'rapist nonce'. Who did he rape?
From what I gather, he had sex with one underage groupie who was a well known part of the band scene in the 70s. Quite awful of course and something that he should be rightly be condemned for. Feel free to start a thread about it if you like, but don't you dare fucking tell me that I shouldn't enjoy any of his work.Do you know what statutory rape is?
According to Lori Mattix, the night she lost her virginity to Bowie, she was involved in a threesome with another 15 year old girl, Sable Starr.From what I gather, he had sex with one underage groupie who was a well known part of the band scene in the 70s. Quite awful of course and something that he should be rightly be condemned for. Feel free to start a thread about it if you like, but don't you dare fucking tell me that I shouldn't enjoy any of his work.
