Song: Velvet Goldmine
Album: Rare (1983)
Personnel: David Bowie (lead and backing vocals, acoustic guitar), Mick Ronson (electric guitar, piano, backing vocals), Trevor Bolder (bass guitar), Mick Woodmansey (drums)
What I love about this track: It’s a straightforward, mid-tempo rocker with tongue-twisting lyrics.
Trivia: The song was recorded during the “Ziggy Stardust” sessions but didn’t make the final cut. It was added a bonus track on the 1990 Rykodisc re-release.
Why I chose this video: I wanted to find a slideshow with Ziggy-era imagery. I was unable to find any live performances of the tune, which is not surprising given that it was an outtake.

I’m so glad people are enjoying it. My goal was to not only feature hits, but to do some deep cuts that perhaps people had never heard before. Thanks for stopping by today!
