Dib Cochran: Tony Visconti (vocals, guitar, autoharp) and The Earwigs: David Bowie (vocals), Marc Bolan (guitar, vocals), Rick Wakeman (piano), Micky Finn (percussions)
Marc Bolan did sing lead on another version of Oh Baby but this is definitely Visconti on lead and Bolan on backing vocals. If you hear Tony's version of Conesuala the voice is unmistakeable. What's more important is that this was the foundation for the classic T.REX sound.
This is NOT the single version, but take #8 (rough mix). Different overdubs and Marcs voice is stronger in the backing vocal mix, different ending, too. I wonder, no one else metioned it so far ??
Love this. Marc and Tony together in a good song (and the Visconti 's touch : the strings ! )
Beautiful photos of Mickey finn and Marc bolan

I've heard this is a very hard single to come by, especially in the US. Cool riff. I like it!
Haven't seen most of those pix before : )
How wasn't this a hit?
