David Bowie 'GOLDEN YEARS'.

David Bowie 'GOLDEN YEARS'.
No remastering here,
an original broadcast Betacam tape, but it is in sync !.
Transmission, Transition, Y.T. :-)
The first drunk white alien on Soul Train. ;-)
NTSC colour playback doesn't work 4 me even on a PAL colour platform, give me PAL anyday, but still a Classic !!.

what a fantastic post!!!!thevisitorjtn2 you are a golden child!!!!

[thevisitortjn2]

@themachman19691 Yup i'm a legend in my own mind. LOL

I requested this track on my then fav (encrypted) local music channel.

I did ask for both tracks, plus the full interview, but they just broadcast the intro and G.Y's, then put it into 'light rotation'.

They got the original Beta-cam tape out of the vault, and it looked quite good on a analogue transponder, plus it is IN SYNC !.

i want to hug and feed him! what a skinny, sexy thing!

[thevisitortjn2]

@Eggs4Eva Indeed.

All he would have wanted back then would have been a glass of milk.

Bowie said he had a few alcoholic drinks pre-show in the green room, hence his shouting of the songs title in the intro.

Dangerous weight loss due to the milk and white powder diet. IMO.

Wonder what Elvis Presley's version would have sounded like ?.

Had he taken up Bowie's offer to release a version of the song.

Presley probably thought the songs content was too much like 'Twilight Years', the last thing the King needed in 1975.

its called GOLDEN yeeearss

@BreakingGlass77 haha yeah sounded like Call Me Blondie

[linclinc5]

when Bowie was cured of his addiction it was like the young lad in Equus cured of his horse addiction, turned him into an anodine, mediocrity. Bowie was great up to Low, but that was his last work of genius. Let's Dance, Super Creeps, China Girl....load of tosh if you ask me

RIP Don Cornelius

[DemonstrativeRanD]

Gotta LOVE David Bowie! He's just incredible! :) I LOVE to see him here on SOUL TRAIN! :)

[BreakingGlass77]

@thevisitortjn2 I'm a big Elvis fan. I had NO idea about that! Just imagine. Thanks for sharing that.

[themachman19691]

@thevisitortjn2 well its a superb post,and one i have never seen!!!!just loving David's oversize clothes,and the look of" I don't know what day it is"....haha,thanks again

[Themanwhocameback2]

Yes, Don Cornelius mispronounces David's name, but many did, and still do. I heard that twerp Avril Lavigne pronounce it "Bow (as in "take a bow) - eee". Others would pronounce it like that thing you attach your boat to -" Boooo- eeee". n - buoy.
