“Woman came like a bolt out of the blue when we were in the studio,” says Karen O. “We did a first pass where I was blurting unintelligible words and Danger Mouse and I were like, ‘Dang! That was intense.’ The atmosphere was volatile with it being just after the election. A lot of people felt helpless like you do when you’re a scared kid looking for assurance that everything is gonna be alright. I like to write songs that anyone can relate to but this one felt especially for the inner child in me that needed the bullies out there to know you don’t f*ck with me. I’m a woman now and I’ll protect that inner girl in me from hell and high water.”

Lux Prima will be released by BMG on March 15. Check out the tracklisting below:

1. Lux Prima
2. Ministry
3. Turn The Light
4. Woman
5. Redeemer
6. Drown
7. Leopard’s Tongue
8. Reveries
9. Nox Lumina

Leonard Cohen has admirers in some unexpected places. Over the Christmas break, Prince Charles selected “Take This Waltz” on a special edition of Radio 3’s programme, Private Passions. “I’ve always loved Leonard Cohen’s voice and his whole approach to the way he sang,” said the heir to the throne. “He was obviously incredibly sophisticated in the way he sang, hut also wrote. I find it very moving.”

Cohen, of course, lived for a short while in London during his mid-twenties; though I’m not certain he ever publicly aired his views of the British monarchy. Nevertheless, Charles’ reminds us of the enduring qualities of Cohen’s music; his abundant gifts as a writer and singer. In the new issue of Uncut – in shops now but available to buy online now – our investigation of Cohen’s musical history – a study of his key albums, illuminated by his principal collaborators – reveals an artist whose work has gained a kind of mythic potency. But what about the craft and art behind this process? Graeme Thomson discovers a remarkable body of work shepherded into existence as much my Cohen’s elusive genius as by the finest caviar, bottles of Château Lafite and glamorous romantic liaisons. We hear tales of a “scruffy dude in his ubiquitous safari suit” whose songs were “threaded with love and loss”. We also preview a revelatory new documentary, Marianne And Leonard: Words Of Love, which premiers in Sundance later this month.

There’s more, though. The Yardbirds recall their sensational breakthrough – and how it led to the departure of their then-guitarist, Eric Clapton (“I wonder what became of him?”, asks one former member). We relive the many peaks of Bob Marley’s career through his long-serving backing band, The Wailers. David Bowie’s “long apprenticeship” is explored, we introduce Jessica Pratt to the Uncut universe and catch up with Lambchop’s Kurt Wagner at home in Nashville. Michael Rother takes us inside Neu! while Crass share some hair-raising stories involving the KGB, Margaret Thatcher and the murky world of teenage magazine giveaways.

If that wasn’t enough, we discover what’s next for The Pretty Things, Sean Ono Lennon explains why he’s not an occultist (he just likes the fab gear), The Long Ryders return and Shabaka Hutchings unveils new plans for his astonishing space-jazz trio, The Comet Is Coming.

There’s new albums from Cass McCombs, Julia Jacklin, Bassekou Kouyate & Ngoni Ba, Royal Trux, The Specials and Sleaford Mods and buried treasures from Japan (ambient New Age), Britain (landfill glam) and America (Phil Alvin).

As ever, let us know what you think.

Leonard Cohen, Bob Marley, Lambchop, Neu! and Jessica Pratt all feature in the new issue of Uncut, out on January 17.

The issue is available to buy online by clicking here.

Cohen is on the cover, and inside we celebrate the key albums in his remarkable career, with help from the Field Commander’s closest confidants. As well as stunning songs, there’s the finest caviar, bottles of Château Lafite and glamorous romantic liaisons: “No matter what, he was still looking for something else,” says one collaborator. “Looking for better.”

The Wailers take us through their incredible work with Bob Marley, from Catch A Fire to Uprising. “I and I were in deep meditation of the works we were doing,” says Aston ‘Family Man’ Barrett. “We rehearsed, meditated, prepared ourselves every day to record, making sure we never missed a beat.”

Uncut heads to Nashville to see Lambchop‘s Kurt Wagner, returning with a new album and still exploring brave new worlds.

Meanwhile, Michael Rother, back with a boxset of his solo work, tells the story of Neu!, from his early days in Kraftwerk to the duo’s 21st-century revival.

Jessica Pratt welcomes us into her Los Angeles home to reveal how she created her new record, Quiet Signs – there are tales of loss, resilience and the redemptive power of John Cassavettes’ films. “I think I’d lost faith in myself,” she reveals.

Four decades on from their explosive debut, Crass recall Thatcher’s Britain, class war and terrifying run-ins with the KGB. “We didn’t tell people how to behave,” they say, “we told people to look at themselves and decide how they want to behave.”

Elsewhere, the Yardbirds explain how they made “For Your Love” and alienated Eric Clapton in the process, while Panda Bear reveals eight albums that shaped his life and music.

Sean Ono Lennon answers your questions, while we meet The Comet Is Coming, chat to The Long Ryders and Bodega, and check out Van Morrison and David Gilmour at the Pretty Things‘ grand farewell.

In our expansive reviews section, we look at new albums from Cass McCombs, Royal Trux, The Specials, Julia Jacklin, Sleaford Mods and more, archival releases from David Sylvian, Django Reinhardt, The Byrds, Phil Alvin and the beautiful losers of junkshop glam.

Live, we catch The War On Drugs, while Tracey Thorn and EMI feature on our books page; in our films, DVD and TV section, you can find reviews on Vice, Green Book, Suede: The Insatiable Ones, Boy Erased and more.

Last but not least, the issue comes with a free CD, Tower Of Songs, collecting 15 tracks of the month’s best new music – Cass McCombs, Sleaford Mods, Julia Jacklin, The Lemonheads, Royal Trux, Michael Chapman, The Claypool Lennon Delirium, Jessica Pratt, Rustin Man, The Long Ryders and more.

The new Uncut, dated March 2019, is out on January 17.

The Who to release a new album in 2019

The Who have confirmed that they are putting the finishing touches to an as-yet-untitled new album, due for release later this year.

Commenting on what can be expected from the band’s first new album in 13 years, Pete Townshend says: “Dark ballads, heavy rock stuff, experimental electronica, sampled stuff and Who-ish tunes that began with a guitar that goes yanga-dang”.

Order the latest issue of Uncut online and have it sent to your home!

Talking in more detail about the genesis of the album to Rolling Stone, Townshend reveals: “I said I was not going to sign any contracts [to tour] unless we have new material. This has nothing to do with wanting a hit album. It has nothing to do with the fact that The Who need a new album. It’s purely personal. It’s about my pride, my sense of self-worth and self-dignity as a writer.”

Townshend goes on say that he’s received an amazing response to his new songs from everyone… except Roger Daltrey. “I had to bully him to respond and then it wasn’t the response I wanted. He just blathered for a while and in the end I really stamped my foot and said, ‘Roger, I don’t care if you really like this stuff. You have to sing it. You’ll like it in 10 years time.’”

The Who have announced that they will support the album with a tour of the USA, backed by a full orchestra. Dates are yet to be announced but venues are set to include Madison Square Garden and The Hollywood Bowl.

Says Daltrey: “Be aware Who fans! That just because it’s The Who with an Orchestra, in no way will it compromise the way Pete and I deliver our music. This will be full throttle Who with horns and bells on.”

Details of European shows will be announced soon.

The Third Ear Band remembered: “Glen thought it was very good PR for us to be heavily involved in the druids”

The Third Ear Band remembered: “Glen thought it was very good PR for us to be heavily involved in the druids”
In a recent Uncut, I wrote about a couple of excellent deluxe reissues from a group that, despite the endless reassessment of the past, still remain obscure - the Third Ear Band. In the late '60s and early '70s, however, they were quite the sensation, outselling many other artists on the Harvest lab...

They played some big gigs – with Al Stewart, with the Stones at Hyde Park…
[Blackhill] were quite ruthless – if someone had got a tour, we’d stick one of our other bands on it. And when we were doing the concerts in Hyde Park we’d stick all our bands on. I remember on the morning of the Stones concert, Paul Buckmaster phoned me up and said [poshly], “Andrew, what do you think I should wear? Should I wear a dark suit?”

Ursula Smith was an important part of the second album. What was she like?
She was a pretty good cellist. I think she’s still married to Steve Pank, who was the roadie. He famously once drove 40 miles the wrong way down the M1 with the band in the back. Steve was a legend for getting lost, always. It’s a miracle they ever got to any gigs at all with him driving.

If there was a lead instrument, it was surely Paul Minns’ oboe.
Paul Minns was a pretty extraordinary bloke – I say he’s the John Coltrane of the oboe, I think it’s quite amazing what he plays. There’s nothing to compare it with, his improvisations, I think they’re brilliant, utterly brilliant. Because of the way the reed’s constructed in oboes, you can make incredible noises with it.

What do you remember of their performance on Glastonbury Tor?
That was really funny – straight out of Monty Python. Glen thought it was very good PR for us to be heavily involved in the druids, so for some solstice or another, or an equinox, we went down there and the druids all showed up and we walked up to the top of Glastonbury Tor. Marching up the hill, Glen was probably complaining about his leg… yeah, it was a war wound. He made out it was anyway. The druids did whatever druids do, sort of moved around and shook their robes and what have you, and the Third Ear Band played, and then we went down again and had a roast lamb and two veg lunch with them. I always remember, we went through all that crazy druid stuff, then they all suddenly turned out to be quantity surveyors from Dorking.

Were they serious about alchemy and magick?
They were very good musicians; I don’t think they gave a shit about alchemy one way or another. I think they all thought they’d found a way to make some great music and they were going to have a go at it, and they did. Looking back at it now we can laugh at some of the hippie excesses, as they look to us now, but at the same it was very serious stuff. The music doesn’t sound dated at all, that’s the thing.

How did they come to be involved in Macbeth?
Through one of Polanski’s producers, Hercules Bellvile, he was a nice chap. It was a great experience for everyone, going down to Shepperton in Polanski’s huge Rolls-Royce. It was very exciting. Polanski was just so bright and so smart, he was always 10 paces ahead of anybody. He knew more about everything – he knew every technical thing backwards, he knew exactly what he was trying to do.

It really was the perfect film for them to soundtrack.
There’s something magic about the Third Ear Band. You don’t realise it at the time, then it’s hard to pin down years later, but there was something special there, there really was.

Richard Thompson: “I’m usually trying to think forwards”
Originally published in Uncut's October 2018 issue To Hampstead, then, where RICHARD THOMPSON takes Tom Pinnock on a tour of his old haunts. Between stop-offs at former homes, favoured eateries and long-lost pubs, the visionary singer and guitarist reflects on his transcendent new album, 50 years o...

You worked with Joe Boyd again in the early ’80s after a long gap. Were things very different from those early Fairport albums?
Joe approached me for Shoot Out The Lights. I’d just recorded with Gerry Rafferty as producer, which was a bit of a disaster. Gerry loved to multi-track everything, which for his music works great, but we hated it for ours. Gerry was very difficult to work with – he’d come in the studio with a pint of what I thought was apple juice, but it was actually whisky. We wouldn’t allow him to release the record or shop it, but five or six of the songs ended up on Shoot Out The Lights. Joe suggested we go into Sound Techniques, make it quickly and cheaply and put it out on his label. That was also the end of mine and Linda’s relationship, so it was a bittersweet time. The album did OK in America, yeah, but unfortunately the publicity was all about us splitting up – yes, we got in Time magazine, but it was all “Oh, the record’s telling this story…”. Which it never was at all. I love Joe, he’s such a great musical human being, and he wrote the best book on the ’60s. He might have been the only person in Britain who had the ears and the musical background to allow Fairport to be ourselves.

Working with Mitchell Froom in the ’90s must have been very different.
Fairport were considered very unfashionable in the ’70s, and it didn’t really change too much in the ’80s. I suppose I escaped to America, where I was treated like a new alternative act, which was quite fun. I was there with REM and 10,000 Maniacs and Talking Heads, so that was OK. Joe had a naturalistic attitude to recording, but working with Mitchell involved tweaking something natural to make it sound a bit funkier, almost like it’s recorded badly. But ‘bad’ in this instance equals ‘attitude’. It was a lot of fun. The budgets were larger, and because of the ways corporations work you’re expected to spend the budget. I still owe EMI a fortune, I’ll never recoup!

13 Rivers might be closest to Mock Tudor, in many ways. That must have been a happy period for you?
I like Mock Tudor a lot, it’s a good sounding record. Again, that was a lucky record. A great studio, Capitol B. The Be-Bop-A-Lula Room, as they call it. I just did a chamber orchestra soundtrack there for a film called The Cold Blue. It’s made up of footage shot by William Wyler, the Hollywood director, about the Memphis Belle, the B-17F bomber.

You must have a lot of touring coming up.
I have three different tours of the States in November, December and January. They’re bus tours – I love them, it’s the best. The camaraderie of the road… It’s just the three of us, yeah, plus our crew of 72. Hair, makeup, costume, choreographer. One costume change per song. In October I’m back here.

So you’ll be spending a fair bit of time in Hampstead, then?
I want to spend more time in London, basically. I’m feeling the old pull. It’s a civilised place to live. I love the galleries, the LSO… I never get to spend enough time here, so I really want to change that. One tends to gravitate to what one knows. Now, are we going to pay or just do a runner?

In his 2001 book Songcatchers, Mickey Hart engagingly describes his extracurricular adventures away from the Grateful Dead, making field recordings of indigenous musicians from the jungles of Bali to the Arctic Circle. “You have to fight the rain, the insects, the sun,” he wrote of the field recordist’s mission. “You have to eat the food of the musicians and observe their traditions. 
To earn the right to hear their music, 
you must respect and honour the culture that creates it.” In the book, Hart also pays tribute to the great song collectors of the past, chronicling the achievements of such pioneers in the field as Alan Lomax, Paul Bowles and Bela Bartok.

The name of David Attenborough does not feature, for at the time the field recordings the great naturalist made while shooting his early wildlife films were unknown and were mouldering 
in a BBC vault. There they sat unheard and forgotten for more than half a century, until 2014 when Attenborough casually mentioned to a BBC producer that while making his famous Zoo Quest series, he had also recorded music “wherever I came across it”.

Order the latest issue of Uncut online and have it sent to your home!

A search of the Corporation’s sound archives turned up a sonic treasury of dozens of field recordings, made by Attenborough between 1954 and 1963 on a portable EMI L2 tape machine the size and weight of a concrete block, powered by 10 large torch batteries, and which had to be rewound by hand. Taking as his inspiration the work of Alan Lomax – whom Attenborough had commissioned 
in 1953 to make a BBC TV series 
showcasing traditional folk musicians from Britain and Ireland – the strange but poignantly compelling results of his endeavours can finally be heard on this remarkable two-disc set.

Topped and tailed by Attenborough’s scene-setting narrative, the 50-plus fragments of music, recorded in West Africa, South America, Madagascar, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea and the Aboriginal territories of northern Australia, reveal a previously unknown side to the great man’s career and character and are a testament to his insatiable curiosity. As far as the BBC’s bean-counters were concerned, he was officially making the recordings for use as background music 
in the films, and one of the pieces – 
“Guira Campana” (The Bell Bird), recorded in Paraguay while looking for armadillos – became the Zoo Quest signature tune. Mostly, however, he recorded simply because he was enthralled by what he heard.

Recording musicians in their natural environment, Attenborough meticulously followed Hart’s code of respecting the culture. None of the music was performed in a concert setting or even specifically for Attenborough and his tape recorder. Apart from vainly trying to hush the voices of village children, there were no “production values” 
or any kind of mediation. It’s simply fly-on-
the-wall stuff in which he recorded people making music “for their own purposes, delight and comfort”.

This means most pieces don’t have a conventional beginning or end. Rather, we’re eavesdropping on a way of life which, as Attenborough notes, no longer exists. The first Zoo Quest trip was to Sierra Leone in search of the bald-headed rock crow. Arguably far more exotic than his avian quarry was the hauntingly rhythmic stringed music Attenborough recorded there on instruments such as the balange, za-za and quidina (which sounds rather like a kora). On the trail of the Komodo dragon, he headed for Indonesia and Borneo, where his recordings of gamelan and of the Dayak people singing to their ancestral spirits conjure an otherworldly thrill.

In Tonga, he recorded a lullaby written by the island’s queen for a royal princess, and in Fiji he found a string band that had heard Western music from the missionaries and played the most delightfully rustic version of “Colonel Bogey” you’ve ever heard. There are numerous other highlights but the best approach is simply to go with the flow – and if you want to know the historical provenance of what you’re hearing, Attenborough’s track notes in the splendid 52-page booklet make an entertaining and erudite guide.

In Arnhem Land in 1963 – his last trip before he took a desk job as controller of BBC2 – he witnessed a sacred aboriginal coming-of-age ceremony and recorded some of the world’s oldest music, unchanged perhaps for thousands of years. Played on didgeridoo and clap sticks and accompanied by eerie and unearthly chanting, it provides some of the most mesmerising moments in the two-hour journey.

By the time Attenborough returned to making wildlife programmes a decade later, the pop revolution and the spell of The Beatles had seemingly permeated every last jungle clearing. He concluded that his days as a field recordist preserving endangered music were over. There was even more pressing business ahead, trying to save an endangered planet from man’s rapacious appetite for destruction.

The Delines – The Imperial
It’s been a long way back for Amy Boone. In March 2016, the singer was hit by a car as she walked through a parking lot in Austin, Texas, causing horrific breaks to her legs. It’s taken her the best part of three painful years, during which time she’s been through nine surgeries and various sk...

It’s been a long way back for Amy Boone. In March 2016, the singer was hit by a car as she walked through a parking lot in Austin, Texas, causing horrific breaks to her legs. It’s taken her the best part of three painful years, during which time she’s been through nine surgeries and various skin grafts, to be able to reclaim her place at the head of The Delines, the band she formed with Richmond Fontaine’s Willy Vlautin in 2012. What kept her going, apparently, was the knowledge that Vlautin had already written the bulk of what became The Imperial.

Order the latest issue of Uncut online and have it sent to your home!

The lyrical preoccupations of this follow-up to 2014 debut Colfax are very much in keeping with Vlautin’s prior form, both as a songwriter and novelist. He’s drawn to those in society’s margins, damaged people trying to get by despite the odds, seeking warmth and comfort where, more often that not, there isn’t any. With the now defunct Richmond Fontaine, these tended to be forlorn, male-dominated environs. But Boone’s soulful presence in The Delines brings a different slant to Vlautin’s characters, her voice transmitting something more hopeful and tender. “Cheer Up Charley” offers up balm to a boozer who’s lost his wife and can’t seem to get over it, the band coating the tale with a fat beat and sweet horns.

The Imperial is mainly about connections both missed and met, however briefly. The title track sees two ex-lovers reunite up for one last drink, 10 years after he was sent to prison for a deal that went south and ruined their relationship. “Let’s Be Us Again” is a country-soul ballad that stands alongside the work of Lambchop, Boone on terrific form as she details a couple who are desperately trying to rekindle what they once had: “Let’s go downtown/And hide in some old lounge/And let it get loose and easy”. Even the most unbearably sad tales – “Holly The Hustle”; “He Don’t Burn For Me” – are given empathetic grace by The Delines’ stirring arrangements.

Netflix has confirmed the existence of a new Martin Scorsese-directed Bob Dylan documentary, due to launch on the streaming service later in 2019. Scorsese previously directed 2005’s No Direction Home: Bob Dylan, concerning Dylan’s rise to fame in the early to mid-60s.

According to publicity material, “Rolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan Story by Martin Scorsese captures the troubled spirit of America in 1975 and the joyous music that Dylan performed during the fall of that year. Part documentary, part concert film, part fever dream, Rolling Thunder is a one of a kind experience, from master filmmaker Martin Scorsese.”

No specific release date for Rolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan Story has been set.

Steve Earle & The Dukes have announced that their new album Guy will be released by New West on March 29.

A sequel to his 2009 album Townes, on which he covered the songs of Townes Van Zandt, Earle’s new effort comprises 16 songs by his other songwriting mentor Guy Clark.

“No way I could get out of doing this record,” says Earle. “When I get to the other side, I didn’t want to run into Guy having made the Townes record and not one about him.”

“Townes Van Zandt and Guy Clark were like Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg to me. When it comes to mentors, I’m glad I had both. If you asked Townes what it’s all about, he’d hand you a copy of Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee. If you asked Guy the same question, he’d take out a piece of paper and teach you how to diagram a song, what goes where. Townes was one of the all-time great writers, but he only finished three songs during the last fifteen years of his life. Guy had cancer and wrote songs until the day he died… When he was sick – he was dying really for the last ten years of his life – he asked me if we could write a song together. We should do it ‘for the grandkids,’ he said. Well, I don’t know… at the time, I still didn’t co-write much, then I got busy. Then Guy died and it was too late. That, I regret.”

Guy was produced by Earle and recorded by his long-time production partner Ray Kennedy. The Dukes on this record include Kelley Looney on bass, Chris Masterson on guitar, Eleanor Whitmore on fiddle & mandolin, Ricky Ray Jackson on pedal steel guitar, and Brad Pemberton on drums & percussion. Guy also features guest appearances by Emmylou Harris, Rodney Crowell, Terry Allen, Jerry Jeff Walker, Mickey Raphael, Shawn Camp, Verlon Thompson, Gary Nicholson, and the photographer Jim McGuire.

In 2012, I interview Bryan Ferry for our regular An Audience With… feature. Sitting in the library above his studio in West London, he fielded questions covering writers’ block, the whereabouts of his Antony Price suits and the ’60s music scene in Newcastle before we came to this one from Ferry’s Roxy Music bandmate, Andy Mackay: “Would you like to finish the album we started in 2006?” The question, I remember, hung in the air while Ferry gathered his thoughts.

“Not sure,” he said. “Was there quite a lot of work done on it? Not really, no. I didn’t get excited about it at the time particularly. I tried to, then I ran out of enthusiasm for it. We did a lot of shows, but taking it into the studio is a different thing. A lot of the onus is on me. I think, over the years, I got so used to making what we call solo albums – but they’re not really solo albums, they’re where I choose who plays on what. Basically, I wanted to do that again. My heart wasn’t in it, and it was pointless doing it. Maybe some other day it could come back. If one of the guys in Roxy came to me with a fabulous tune, then I might change my mind…”

For those of us who’d been eagerly following the on-off story of a new Roxy album – their first since 1982, and their first involving Brian Eno since 1973 – Ferry’s comments seemed like a rather disappointing full-stop to the band’s glorious career. It is a career, incidentally, that you can relive again in all its glory in our handsome Roxy Music Ultimate Music Guide – which goes on sale January 10 but you can now buy direct from our online store here.

As edited by John Robinson, this 124 page magazine is, we modestly believe, the definitive guide to the band’s music. You’ll find insightful new writing on every album, a slew of archive features from the Melody Maker, NME and Uncut vaults as well as a decade by decade look at the solo work of messers Ferry and Eno.

Back to Ferry, then, in his library and one final, warm memory of Roxy as the start of their career, rattling around the UK on their early, provincial tours. “It was exciting, travelling around in a van,” said Ferry. “We didn’t do it for very long, we were very fortunate. We were just beginning to be known. It was the first this, the first that. It was a laugh, playing places like Scarborough. Sleeping in the van overnight. Eno was a laugh, we got on very well. And Andy Mackay was really very amusing, very dry. So we spent a lot of time laughing, really. Paul was a character… they were all characters.

“I was proud of that band.”

To celebrate the upcoming 50th anniversary of “Space Oddity”, Parlophone have announced a 7″ vinyl box set featuring nine rare David Bowie recordings from the era.

Spying Through A Keyhole comprises nine demo tracks including the previously unknown “Love All Around” and the two earliest known versions of “Space Oddity”. The tracks were initially available on streaming services for a limited period in December, but are previously unreleased on physical formats.

Order the latest issue of Uncut online and have it sent to your home!

Most of the recordings are solo vocal and acoustic home demo performances. Parlophone have provided some more details on the Spying Through A Keyhole tracks below:

Mother Grey (demo)
This mid-tempo tale of a fledgling son fleeing the nest features multi-tracked vocals, guitars and harmonica from David.

In The Heat Of The Morning (demo)
A well-known early Bowie song but presented here in demo form with final lyrics.

Goodbye 3d (Threepenny) Joe (demo)
A charming demo from 1968.

Love All Around (demo)
A delightful love song from whence the title of this collection came: “I see a pop tune spying through a keyhole from the other room”.

London Bye, Ta-Ta (demo)
An early demo version of the song with completely different lyrics in a couple of the verses compared to those of the later full band versions.

Angel, Angel, Grubby Face (demo version 1)
The first and only previously known demo of this song.

Angel, Angel, Grubby Face (demo version 2)
A later version of the same song with alternative lyrics.

Space Oddity (demo excerpt)
The lyric and arrangement variations lend weight to the theory that this is possibly the first ever recorded demo of one of Bowie’s most famous songs.

Space Oddity (demo – alternative lyrics) (with Hutch)
Originally conceived as a song for a duo to perform, this is the first known version to feature John ‘Hutch’ Hutchinson again with lyric and arrangement variations.

Spying Through A Keyhole will be issued as a 7″ vinyl box set later in the spring, exact release date TBC.
