“You gotta make way for the Homo Superior...”
The second track to be taken from the upcoming Divine Symmetry set is a previously unreleased live version of Oh! You Pretty Things, recorded at Friars, Aylesbury, 25th September, 1971.
The track is available now (if it’s 21st October where you are) and you can find it here. Listen out for the Monty Python reference in the intro.
Regular visitors to this page will know how important the Aylesbury venue was to David Bowie and just four months later he would launch what became the Ziggy Stardust tour there.
Around the same time as the January show he had this to say to Penny Valentine about the previous September visit from where Oh! You Pretty Things was recorded: “We did this gig in Aylesbury before Christmas and got such a great reception, it got us off.”
You’ll be able to judge for yourself just how great that reception was with the release of Divine Symmetry next month.
