1973 I was in 7th grade , my buddy and I listened to this whole album every day that summer. We thought the greatest lyrics ever constructed was in "Moonage Daydream" and it opened up our minds to a whole new world. What a fun time we had with Bowie!
This is extremely interesting to hear. Vocal track demonstrates how great a voice DB had even in the early years. Crisp, clean. Directly on tune. And vibrato is unreal. Plus drum track is super tight and different from what I thought it was. Excellent.
With Bowie’s Absolutely Amazing Vocals & Eclectic Songwriting along with Mick Ronson on Piano Melotron String Arraignments and Those Other Worldly Guitars make Moonage Daydream & the Ziggy Stardust Album Bowie’s Signature Album Oh and Trevor’s Killer Bass Lines & Woody’s Drum Fills are Special
So I'm sitting here and listening to this on my phone, and, well, it's Mind-blowing. This is the first time that I've listened to Mick's guitar work here isolated, and the memories flow back to when I first bought this album ( all those moon units ago), and there it is, thank you, Ronno. And hearing David's voice only reconfirms that this was my favorite era of his. Freak Out In Out...
The most remarkable thing about these isolated tracks is that there is a lot of extra sounds in them -- little miffed pick hits, layered, thin sounding 12 strings, an open string on electric that was hit by accident (like what you hear Ronno hit around 10:50 to 11:00 on this track) but sounds great just the same -- stuff that just 10-15 years later would never have made it onto tape during the 1980's when everything was comped to death and cut up and re-taken and re-edited until every part was "perfect". For example, Mutt Lange -- who did those things on the records he produced -- would have produced the soul and greatness out of this record. Ken Scott knew just what to leave in. And what we got out of the deal was an absolute classic.
This is awesome. I was 6 in late 72 in 1st grade art class the first time I heard it. It blew me away. I had never heard anything like it before. Thank God for that art teacher. ❤
Mick Ronson's electric guitar tone in this track is what dreams are made of.
Oh Mick...what a solo. What a song.
Never gets old.
There will never be another man as interesting as David Bowie. He was unique.
Gorgeous strings arranged by Ronno!!! Ken Scott, Mick Ronson, & the legend himself all produced the greatest LP in rock history...
True.

My only (slight) criticism of the album is that the drums are a bit buried in the final mix.
Awesome- would love to hear a deconstruction of Ziggy's John, im only dancing, just for the crazy bass lines laid down by Trevor.
"Freak out-tuh, far out-tuh, in out-tuh..." Never noticed him hitting those Ts before, reminds me of Mark E. Smith

Absolutely brilliant. I’m happy hope you’re happy too
Magical moment when the strings come in
At first I had a job keeping track of this. Then it all came together.
Love the isolated Mellotron.
Excellent post!!! Love these isolated tracks of Bowie’s iconic songs!
I’m having this played at my funeral
Alright ....my fave song on that album
Wonderful! Fucking wonderful!
AWESOME! Thank you so much for taking on David's amazing music! Much appreciated. The part with the orchestra is just beautiful!!!!
Great job.
Brilliant
Great listen
Thanks
This is so cool, I love this
Fantastic!
Is he playing a Bm during the chorus? 10:00
@Vim Fuego thanks for the clarification. I always thought it was D somehow.
Weird, right?!
Yes Bm. If I play on guitar sometimes alternate between D and Bm to get different feel. But I'm not a musician.
Magique
I've never seen that picture of Bowie with a flute
Can you please do one for “Suffragette City?”
Well ain’t this a tasty find.
Is it Irish flute or is it Ronno playing a recorder?
It's flute actually.
Is that 12 string guitar?
why are the tracks mono???
