“The Pretty Things Are Going To Hull“
The sad passing of Mick Ronson is commemorated on this day. It’s 22 years since Ronno succumbed to liver cancer on 29 April 1993 at the age of 46.
Music On Vinyl (MOV) are remembering Mick with the release of his final solo album, Heaven And Hull (1994), on 180 gram audiophile vinyl on May 18th.
This will be the first time the album has appeared as a quality pressing, the original vinyl was only ever released as a picture disc.
David Bowie’s contributions to the album are: lead vocal on Like A Rolling Stone, backing vocals on Colour Me and backing vocals and saxophone on the live version of All The Young Dudes from the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert at Wembley Stadium in April 1992.
Our montage shows the original advert for the album, along with a shot of Bowie and Ronno from the Black Tie White Noise sessions. Bottom right is a live shot of the pair from September 1983, when Mick guested on The Jean Genie during The Serious Moonlight Tour in Toronto.
