Win Last Two Bowie Uk 45s In Record Store Day Contest

I live above the record store…

In recognition of the planet-wide Record Store Day we are giving away ten sets of the two most recent UK David Bowie vinyl 7″ singles, even if one of those was released as long ago as the year 2000!

There have been other 7″ UK singles that bear Bowie’s name since 2000, such as Arnold Layne, but not as a solo artist. And there have been box sets that contain a Bowie 7″, War Child’s “Heroes” box springs to mind and The Boat That Rocked promo 7″ box set, but these are compilations and don’t count as a Bowie only release.

Granted, the above release of Cat People doesn’t have Bowie on the B-side, but nevertheless, both of the above are UK vinyl Bowie 7″ 45s, however you look at it.

The 2002 orange vinyl Slow Burn 45 is considered to be an EU-wide release (some listings even have it as Germany only) so that doesn’t count either.

Sorry, I’m rambling, but I’m just trying to qualify the headline of this piece. And so, on to the contest…

To be in with a chance of winning both the Survive picture disc and the Inglorious Basterds pressing of Cat People, we have two very easy questions…actually, before I forget, did I mention that the Cat People singles are all signed by David Bowie? Well, they are.

And so…

Question 1: Name the artist and song on the B-side of the above Inglorious Basterds pressing of Cat People.

Question 2: Only one of the six discs in the animation below is the true B-side image for the Survive picture disc. Tell us which is the correct one: A, B, C, D, E or F?

If you’re scratching your head for the answers to this one, it won’t help and you may get splinters. However, Lanky Chas Pearson’s indispensable Discography of David Bowie 7? vinyl records is the resource that will help you with both these questions.

While you’re there, have a look around, if you’re not already familiar with the site, and click on a few adverts too…I know Chas would appreciate your patronage.

Anyway, once you have the two answers, send them to me here. (Link is only active when logged in to BowieNet)
