 This is one of Bowie's absolutely essential singles, and you'll find that it's an edited version about half a minute shorter than the album cut. (Ditto my earlier comments about the advantages of edited versions  in addition to what I said earlier, remember that it was the (edited) 45 version that became the hit that you remember from the radio!) Chart Nerd Alert: In the 1970s, Bowie released some of the very best music of his career, but he only had two Top 10 U.S. hit singles  "Fame" (a chart-topper from earlier in 1975) and "Golden Years" (which peaked at #10). His career would take off even more strongly after 1983's hit album "Let's Dance," and he had four Top 10 U.S. hits in the 1980s (oh, all right: "Let's Dance," "China Girl," "Blue Jean," and "Dancing in the Street" (w/Mick Jagger). Note: This beautiful copy has pristine clean labels, but some fading in coloration around the center hole. The vinyl reflects light use, and the audio is Near Mint after the first few spins where there is a touch more noise. The flip is a track from his Young Americans album. (This scan is a representative image from our archives.)
