Originally released in the UK on 15th February, 1980

‘ALABAMA SONG’ was initially written as a poem by

Bertolt Brecht in 1925 and was put to music by Kurt

Weill for the 1927 play Little Mahogany. David Bowie

was a longstanding Brecht fan and included the

song in the setlist for his 1978 Isolar II tour.

 The studio version of ‘ALABAMA SONG’ on the A-side 

of this release was recorded on July 2nd 1978,

the day after the final show of the European leg of

the tour, at Tony Visconti’s Good Earth Studios in

Soho, London.

The AA-Side features two previously unreleased

tracks; A rendition of “Heroes” track ‘JOE THE

LION’ recorded at the soundcheck of the tour’s final

Earls Court show on the 1st July 1978. Though

rehearsed for the Isolar II tour ‘JOE THE LION’

would not make its live debut until the Serious

Moonlight tour of 1983.

The second track on the AA-side is a live version of

‘ALABAMA SONG’ also recorded July 1st 1978—a

different performance than the one featured on the

live album.
