Description
Rebel Rebel is Bowie's most-covered track, it has been described as being effectively his farewell to the glam rock movement that he had helped pioneer, as well as being a proto-punk track.
Originally written for an aborted Ziggy Stardust musical in late 1973, "Rebel Rebel" was Bowie's last single in the glam rock style that had been his trademark. It was also his first hit since 1969 not to feature lead guitarist Mick Ronson; Bowie himself played guitar on this hit.
The song is notable for its gender-bending lyrics ("You got your mother in a whirl / She's not sure if you're a boy or a girl") as well as its distinctive riff. It quickly became a glam anthem, reaching No. 5 in the UK and No. 64 in the USA.
This 45 is the US release. The US single, credited to simply 'Bowie' and released in May 1974, is shorter (2:58) and more uptempo, dense and camp than the UK single, features percussion by Geoff MacCormack, an original backing vocal line, and a new arrangement.
This exceeding rare PROMO comes with the ORIGINAL SLEEVE. It LOOKS UNPLAYED!!.
You cannot call yourself a Bowie fan or collector without this gem. A true blue chip collectible.
