Pretty sure I didn't know that it had ever been officially released, however.
In any event, if Ziggy Stardust (the album) had sounded this Eddie Cochran-ish and cool, I would have probably spent the rest of my career/life raving about how much I dug its auteur. 😎😎

I hate that Arnold Corns version.
(I kid!)
Off the top of my head, there are three life-changing musical moments for me, after a steady diet of Beatles, Beach Boys, etc.
The first time I saw Television live right when "Marquee Moon" was released.
My first trip to New Orleans.
And buying "Ziggy Stardust."
Did you happen to see that Ziggy tour? The show I saw was at Carnegie Hall.
6 days before the Carnegie Hall show, the tour started in Cleveland, where he broke huge. Tickets went in an instant so I couldn't get one. Got one later for the Diamond Dogs tour and said WTF was that?
No. First time seeing Bowie was 1976, "Thin White Duke" tour.
Cleveland was huge for Bowie, Mott The Hoople, Rush, Springsteen (he didn't really need the help), Southside Johnny, and a few other bands.
It's no accident that's where the Hall of Fame museum is.
It's hard to believe we actually pulled that one off.
Bought this back around 1990 on a bootleg single from a record dealer friend, after I read Mr. Simels' recommendation. Still love this version, still have the 45.
