“Well the record’s so white, but it may come clear”
April 18th sees the release of a limited edition white/clear vinyl 'Side By Side' 7" 'Kingdom Come'. One side features the original Tom Verlaine version of the track and the other has Bowie's rendition from the album 'Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps)'.
'Kingdom Come' was first released by ex Television frontman Tom Verlaine on his eponymous solo album in 1979, a year later Bowie covered the song for inclusion on the album 'Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps)', Bowie wanted to know how the song would sound in the style of Ronnie Spector thus giving us this very unusual performance.
This 'Side By Side' release will be issued in a clear stickered sleeve on white/clear vinyl.
