I am pleased that you enjoyed the Congregation. Apparently the record was a Cook and Greenaway production but at the time it seemed very unusual. It still does - and it should be played more often.

Great stuff. Close your eyes and you think you're in the 70s.

I like this rather dynamic take on this Dylan classic.

I'm on a time lag so comments are a bit sporadic. Like Peaches En Regalia and Machine Gun.
That Bowie track is fascinating. Hadn't heard it before. It says "original version". The official lyric says "The boys in the clothes shop sold me curry for a pound" but I think in your link it is "The poet and the blow job sold me curry for a pound". Could be why I've never heard it on the radio.

I didn't know there's is an "original" (studio) version either until today. The version I knew before is on this compilation:

You're right. It sounds exactly like that.

That could be it then. Visconti again, of course.
It is in the vein of other tracks of his from that time but the Anthony Newley voice isn't so pronounced. It is a London song - I collect those in my head - and one which sounds like Carnaby Street.
His brother lived in the hospital where I worked one summer as a student. 1984. Sadly, he threw himself on a railway line just outside. I always tell people that our superstar was very afraid of the family illness but overcame that fear to visit him when alive. He would do so dressed in an ordinary suit and quietly, without the press. I've always had a lot of regard for him and believe that fans would like to know that side to him.
(I liked the Dylan cover version too)

I think Bowie mentions his brother in the 93 song Jump They Say. He refers to him as "shaking man".

Yes, he was his half brother and he lived there permanently. His mother spent time in there too as did Charlie Chaplin's mother earlier and also a relation of Michael Caine. Possibly mother again. It was one of the places on the boundary with Surrey where the troubled of inner South London were sent.
Actually, my Nan knew Chaplin as a shoeless child, wearing ragged clothes made from his mother's dresses, and laughed at, but that's another story. The hospital is featured, I think, on the original cover of The Man Who Sold The World. In cartoon form with a cowboy? I can't find it at the moment.
Ah, I have found it -

Not the best audio, buzz in the background, but still cool.
