“You got me spinning, baby”
September 22nd sees the release of another very special limited DAVID BOWIE 7″ picture disc release, the 40th anniversary edition of ‘KNOCK ON WOOD (LIVE) / ROCK ‘N’ ROLL WITH ME (LIVE)’
Originally released in Autumn 1974 and taken from DAVID LIVE, these two 2005 mixes by Tony Visconti are making their vinyl debut. The original DAVID LIVE single mix of KNOCK ON WOOD was a UK top 10, however the US went with ROCK ‘N’ ROLL WITH ME also from DAVID LIVE in response to Donovan’s recent cover version there.
