The solid book we wrote… (Well, the solid book Nick Pegg wrote at least)
We set a competition to win copies of BowieNetter Nick Pegg‘s revised and expanded fourth edition of The Complete David Bowie last week, (07.22.2006 NEWS: COMPLETE BOWIE COMP AND NICK PEGG IN CHAT TOMORROW) and without further ado, here are the questions Nick set again followed by each answer…
———————————————————————————————————————–
Question 1: Readers of The Complete David Bowie will know that the first section of the book consists of an A-Z of every song written, covered, performed live or in any way contributed to by David Bowie. Several songs will be making their first appearances in the new edition. So, purely alphabetically, what will be the first “new” entry in the 2006 edition?
Answer 1: Arnold Layne as performed with Dave Gilmour at the RHA back in May. (05.30.2006 NEWS: DB SURPRISE GUEST AT LONDON GILMOUR GIG & 05.31.06 NEWS: MORE EXCLUSIVE BOWIE PIX FROM RAH AND REVIEWS)
Question 2: How many years separate the two photographs that appear on the front cover (above) of the new edition of The Complete David Bowie?
Answer 2: Thirty years (The exact dates the shots were taken are February 13th 1974 and June 13th 2004)

Quite a high percentage of wrong answers on this one, but well done to the five lucky winners below who knew the answers and whose details have already been forwarded to Nick.
