Marc Bolan & David Bowie - Madman [Demo]

Here is the original of the song covered by the Cuddly Toys.
Muddy, dusty old demo tapes produce poor sound quality. :)

That "bass line" is priceless. It sounds like someone's twanging a metal ruler on the edge of a desk! I might have to sample that...

[agentwilde]

Bowie is singing the lead vocal with Bolan coming in here here and there and Gloria Jones on BV's

Beautiful video.

"Though I'm small, " sang Bolan,

though mega-soul'd---the UK beats up the little ones too

as they do Here's God's country of  anesthetic cunts

But he "enjoys living anyway"

THANKS DAVID

Sometimes it takes beauty

To prove beauty

[DAVWAVE]

Why the negatives, no one could screech, and screech off key, like Gloria. That was her alright.

I think its not the Cuddly Toys, I've heard a demotape of Bowie's owbn, unfinished version of this song before. That is in fact the tape the Cuddly Toys have used to finish and properly record the song

This doesn't sound like Bolan or Bowie :S are you sure it isn't just a bad quality Cuddly Toys version?

[McDjB1]

Ashton Archer, you Sir, are a fool.
