“Ohhh, Wham Bam Thank You Ma'am!”

With just two weeks to go until the release of ANCIANT, we thought you might like to hear this previously unreleased live version of Suffragette City.

The track was omitted from the original Stage album in 1978 and from the 2005 reissue. However, a tape containing this recording from 29th April, 1978, at the Spectrum Arena in Philadelphia, was uncovered during research for the ‘A New Career In A New Town’ box set. 

Listen to it here now and pre-order the box set here,

This is the second instalment of our album focus on David Bowie’s Lodger.

Here follows an excerpt from an old UNCUT interview with David about the confusingly named Berlin Trilogy. This snippet is from the part regarding Lodger. UNCUT never published the full interview, but you can read the unedited version of it here.

UNCUT: An album which really divides Bowie fans - it is either devout love or total indifference.
