David Bowie – “Rebel Rebel” (Vinyl)
‘Diamond Dogs’
RCA Victor – May 24, 1974
*David Bowie – “Rebel Rebel” (Vinyl) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vy-rvsHsi1o // https://www.discogs.com/release/4709468-David-Bowie-Diamond-Dogs // https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamond_Dogs // https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebel_Rebel // ‘Diamond Dogs’ is the eighth studio album by the English musician David Bowie, released on 24 May 1974 through RCA Records. Bowie produced the album and recorded it in early 1974 in London and the Netherlands, following the disbanding of his backing band the Spiders from Mars and the departure of the producer Ken Scott. Bowie played lead guitar on the record in the absence of Mick Ronson. The version with the dog’s bollocks is super rare! This was given to me by my mother-in-law after I bugged her about it for years. I believe it’s a 1976 repress. Now we have all her records and everything else and this is her first woulda been birthday today, so we’ll send that out to Deb!*
