It doesn't quite warrant a place in the covers that were better thread but they give it a damn good go
Tin machine had a crack at it on there 2nd album
Crimes against music is probably a bit harsh but david and co really do not trouble the scorer
As for virginia plain.... absolute cracker like bowie it sounded like it came from another planet... dont know if it's been expunged now but jimmy savile introduced them on top of the pops.. silver machine Hawkwind and motts all the young dudes was on the same show.... god we never had it so good. Dick emery on a Thursday night....... the beeb would run crying and screaming if they put that on now....
I like the early Roxy Music stuff. Not such a fan of the later stuff or Ferry on his own - although he was still a real style icon in the early 80s. I think some guy in the 70s described him as an example of living art.
Great times for music. Bowie, Roxy Music, T Rex, Thin Lizzy, Free, early Elton John, early Rod Stewart...
All the girls loved David Cassidy, the Osmonds and David Essex.
Dick Emery! I loved the randy old dear with the glasses.
