Bowi
''Bowi'' was the first EP released on Stiff Records. Recorded by Nick Lowe, who had also released the first Stiff single, the title and cover were intended as a humorous response to the David Bowie album ''Low'', which had been released earlier in the year. Lowe decided that as Bowie had made an album with his name, but without the final ''e'', he would reciprocate by making a record with Bowie's name, also lacking the final ''e''. Of the four tracks on the EP, only "Marie Provost" was initially re-released on an album, 1978's ''Jesus of Cool'' (issued as ''Pure Pop for Now People'' in the US), although all four tracks appear on the 2008 deluxe re-release edition of ''Jesus of Cool''. The opening track "Born a Woman", written by Martha Sharp, had previously been performed by Sandy Posey "as a lament about the world's cruelty and inequality", whereas Lowe sings it with glee, unclear whether he is "decrying the information he's sharing or reveling in it". "Marie Provost" was ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
