David Bowie Alternative Candidate 1974

[BreakingGlass77]

This is a completely different song than the one on the album. The only thing the two songs have in common is the title

[gward8]

[JHollowayNetwork]

According to Wikipedia, the demo version of the song is from 1973, not 1974.

[racyweb]

@JHollowayNetwork well there is only one day difference.. and I suppose it was written in 1973 . thanks

@JHollowayNetwork

This version of the song was recorded at Olympic Studios on New Years Day 1974

[TheSanealaddin]

Bleedin' hell this is good. Agree with folks saying it's quite a different song to the DD song, and that's fuckin' amazin; also agree this is his best period, what a look, what songwriting, and then in a few years time we have a crock of shit like 'Fantastic Voyage', it wasn't as if he was too old or anything; just lost the intensity, anyway this is the classic period, thanks for the upload.

[Brickicle]

Wait, are you all comparing this to the song Candidate in the Sweet Thing/Candidate/Sweet Thing (reprise) trio? I know they are technically different versions of each other, but really they're two very unique songs. They share some similar lyrics but they're still extremely different. Imagine how wrong this would sound as the bridge between Sweet Thing and Sweet Thing (reprise). They're both amazing songs, but they're also very different songs, and comparing the two just doesn't make sense.

The 1:51 picture reminds me of Tilda Swinton (and, of course, she's done a few (?) Bowie-inspired photoshoots. Definitely done one that I've seen, anyway). I much prefer this version to the one on Diamond Dogs.

[leonakita]

indeed, great pics! Nice upload!

[noddyneeds]

amazing pics

[kjsh987]

"incredible" hell yeah

[theblahman]

cant get over how massively different tjhis is, and im loving it, heard its an obscure find, Bowie should release some of his lost archive stuff, shame how many great tracks are being overlooked by people comfortable with with the album releases

[elzashan]

I love how this is nothing like the album version. Very nice song. :D

[Sanguinecc]

I love this...

[hurovi]

[agnY]

This is great I have never heard it like that before! All my Bowie albums are pre- any anniversaries :-/

[BibidiBobidiBou01]

Where did you take the picture at 1:51? Trop jolie!

[racyweb]

Hi Most of the pics are from the same website.. I can give you the link if you'd like it.. Thanks for watching :-))

[BibidiBobidiBou01]

@racyweb

Please, please, please.

[MmeLEnfer]

@racyweb Can I have the web site too please? Thanks for the upload x

[podingtonbear]

Priceless!!

[BigLabielski]

I'm not surprised that they nixed this song for the other version of Canidate for the Diamond Dogs album. That one is much more anxious and fits the album better. This one however, is rather good. It's a pity I could never find any of the special edition albums with extra goodies like this. But that's what the internet is for isn't it?

[jupitorman]

these photos are peices of art thay are just fab x

[racyweb]

you're right they're awesome photos... thanks for watching, have a nice day :-))

[jamicweb]

This is one of my favorite extras. First heard it on the Rhykodisc re--release. I have always been sad that there is so little footage and photos from the Diamond Dogs tour. These photos are spectacular! Thank you for sharing them.

[BowieGirley]

This is heaps maad! by the way where in the world did you get all these pics from! i want them!!

[15275657]

This is fantastic!!!! Like so many others, I didn't know this song even existed and I am a monumental Bowie fan. How this one got by me, I have no idea. What album/CD is this from

[pishposh1999]

[KWest1972]

Ta for posting that. Never heard it nor knew it existed.Great video- remind me of one of those TOTP montages from the 70's pre the video age, lovely photos.

[Vinca66]

" The Divine " should watch and listen You-Tube...He would see how much You, Tracy, and many others are inspired so deeply and prettily by Him.....Perhaps would he reply to our love...giving an acoustic concert...just between Him and us...his addict lovers.......a little little little show......one more......His latest show.....

" The last show that he ever do "

[racyweb]

Merci beacoup Vinca. You and I feel the same way. If only he would do that for us... sighs.

[thegasworks]
