To mark what would have been David Bowie’s 74th birthday, his previously unreleased cover versions of Bob Dylan’s “Tryin’ To Get To Heaven” and John Lennon’s “Mother” – both recorded in the late-’90s – have been released together as a limited 7″ single.
The tracks are also available digitally. Listen to both of them below:
The 7” single is limited to 8147 numbered copies, referencing Bowie’s birth date of 8/1/47; the sleeve features a photograph of Bowie’s hand as a baby. 1000 copies will be on cream-coloured vinyl available only from the official David Bowie store and Warner Music’s Dig! store, with the rest on black vinyl. Order here.
