It won't surprise you to hear that I've got the cassette *and* the single. Very fine it is too (and I always wondered who Thomas Danger was). I guess I could buy another copy of the cassette, but what would I do with it?
"the whole damn thing is there, untouched"
Same thing happened to Mike Garson, so you're in good company. He improvised a few takes for Bring Me The Disco King, which Bowie cut up to assemble a single track out of the best bits. Garson took that home as a guide, played it straight through on his concert grand and recorded that. Which Bowie didn't use; what you hear on the album is the guide, a jigsaw of three different run-throughs on the studio's Rhodes. (And maybe DB was right; it certainly works.)
Yay Marc - our paths crossed a couple of times in the early 80s, and I always thought he was a good guy. J Hoop sounds like a charmer. Still, at least she didn't correct anyone's grammar.
This was fantastic. Thank you for sharing these.

Thanks for the musical weekly journeys pal. Brilliant.
Such a completist am I that I have that Earworm 7" single.
Please continue with the Saga of Sara Lowe's. Her talent definitely merits our collective attention.
The Webb bro’s had strong chicago ties. Couple strong records then went away. They released a new on crowdfunded last year or the year before.
