DJ was the second single taken from David Bowie’s 1979 Lodger album and was the follow up to Boys Keep Swinging. (04.27.2009 NEWS: BOYS HAVE CONTINUED TO SWING FOR PAST 30 YEARS)
Backed by Repetition the single was released as a limited edition green vinyl pressing in the UK (below) and copies of this version are among the most sought after of all the Bowie commercial RCA 45s.
In fact, two copies of the green vinyl DJ 45 sold on eBay in February of this year, one for £104 GBP (approx. $171 USD) and then another a few days later for £83 GBP (approx. $136 USD).
While we’re on the subject, The Benassi v Bowie DJ remix which we first told you about in March, (03.09.2009 NEWS: BENASSI vs BOWIE DJ REMIX DUE PLUS EXCLUSIVE FIRST LOOK) was originally scheduled for a July 6th commercial release. This date has now been put back to Sunday July 19th and DJ will now be released as a digital bundle only.
We’ll let you know the final tracklisting as soon as we have it and we’ll be running a contest for physical promos around the same time.
