Holy unnatural aversion Bow-Man!



David Bowie. He’s a big star with millions of fans all over the world, right?
So surely you can get everything he’s ever done on some re mastered reissue or box set some where, right?

Actually No.
Whilst none of the tracks from MWSTW were issuedas singles, in 1970 Bowie released ‘Holy Holy’. And unless you can track down the original single (or a dodgy bootleg), you can’t get this. It’s never been officially re issued or re-released.
The Bow-myster recorded a new version of the song during the Ziggy sessions in 1972 and that has been re issued plenty of times, even as an extra track on MWSTW. You can get it off of itunes right now.

But the original version? Gone without a trace.

Which suggests that Ol’ D.B. must have something of an aversion to this track. I wonder why?
