Beauty shrieks “beast in booties”…
Out today is the soundtrack to the film Kinky Boots, which includes David Bowie’s original 1970 version of The Prettiest Star featuring Marc Bolan on lead guitar. The 45 was also the first Bowie single to bear a Tony Visconti production credit.
Nina Simone‘s rendition of Wild Is The Wind is also on the soundtrack, the very version that inspired David to record the song for the 1976 Station To Station album.
You can here snippets from the soundtrack (released via Hollywood Records) here. Click on the CD cover above to get to the Kinky Boots website.
Kinky Boots is inspired by a true story from the makers of Calendar Girls and it goes on general release nation-wide in UK cinemas this week.
