The 1981 German 12″ of ‘Heroes’/’Helden’, ‘Heroes’/’Héros’ on RCA
Und wir sind dann Helden, Für einen tag…
Q magazine have this month (August issue) chosen two excellent Andy Kent pictures from 1976 of David in East Berlin for their monthly Bowie appearance. The pictures are used to illustrate a question from reader Antony Steely from London. Antony is keen to trace “…a version of ‘Heroes’ sung by David Bowie in German.” The answer deals with the history of ‘Helden’ and gives a fairly accurate listing of the tracks’ various releases over the years.
Of course, if Antony was a member of BowieNet he could win himself a brand spanking new re-mastered version of the track in the upcoming ‘Christiane F.’ competition that we will be posting sometime next month…well ahead of the official release date. Still, his loss is possibly your gain dear reader.
