Life Beyond Mars Cd Contest

‘Cos you’re playing with the spider who possess the sky…

We told you about this one last month (05.26.2008 NEWS: STAY TUNED FOR LIFE BEYOND MARS CD CONTEST) when we promised this very contest ahead of the June 30th release date of this CD.

David Bowie is one of the most covered artists of all time. Indeed, his very first credited composition was released by another artist even before he had released it himself.

And so, for this contest in which we have ten copies of the above Life Beyond Mars: Bowie Covered CD to give away, (kindly donated by Rapster Records) we thought we’d stick to the Bowie covered theme for our questions…

Question 1: In 1974 two different female singers released Bowie cover versions as singles that were produced by Bowie and Mick Ronson and had guest contributions from the pair too. We want to know who those two women were and what Bowie songs they covered?

Question 2: Name aforementioned first credited Bowie composition and the artist who released it even before Bowie released it himself.

That’s it…fairly easy for many of you I would imagine…and no doubt devilishly difficult for many more.

Once you have your answers, send them to me here before midday UK time on Friday June 27th.

Usual BowieNet rules apply: Only one entry per BowieNet account and please remember you must enter using your BowieNet e-mail or at least supply your BowieNet user name. If you do neither of these things you won’t be eligible to enter.

The ten winners will be announced on the afternoon of the Friday the contest closes to hopefully give enough time to get the CD to some of you at least in time for the following Monday’s release.
