Happened to be in a charity shop last week and picked up Madman by The Cuddly Toys - to my knowledge (correct me if I’m wrong) it’s the only Bolan/Bowie co-write that has been recorded - it was £1 and in picture sleeve too - now that really is a bargain 🎸🎸🎸
Nice find.. It is credited to Bolan and Bowie but Steve Harley always claimed he wrote it.. He says he and Marc played it acoustically while Bowie was staying at Marc's house, sleeping on the floor because there were no beds there. No Harley recording has ever been released, only the Bowie/Bolan demo when they were rehearsing Sitting Next To You.
@@ATMFC Thanks for that - I never knew the Steve Harley connection on that particular song 🎸 Even after all these years (my first purchase back in 1970 with A Beard Of Stars) I still look for anything Marc related everywhere I go - now being retired (that makes me very old 🤣) I have more time. 🎸🎸
"Your shoes are ...crap" - the first thing young Marc said to young David. Bowie had to lift his game.
I also read that somewhere. It’s funny! 😁
My two favorites. I love this, but it’s difficult to watch knowing what’s gonna happen in a couple of weeks. 💖😪

@@zincalloy2213 lucky you! I haven’t heard of that one. 😊
@@whitebirchtarotJust walked in and there it was - couldn’t believe my luck too. Some slight damage to the picture sleeve but it plays really well 🎸🎸🎸
@@zincalloy2213 Snowy White also recorded a cover of the same song, but Cuddy Toy's version is the best, IMO.
