After David Bowie started his movie career by playing the lead in The Man Who Fell to Earth (1976), he was starring in Just a Gigolo (Schöner Gigolo, armer Gigolo). The West German movie about a Prussian officer who works as a gigolo in a brothel run by the Baroness (Marlene Dietrich) after he returns home from the great war included different songs. Bowie contributed a piece of music to the film; his so-called Revolutionary Song, played by a band called The Rebels. Later it became a collector’s item.
Besides this track the 7" includes the 1928 title song Just a Gigolo, performed by Marlene Dietrich. It was her last film appearance and the last song she recorded during her lifetime.
Revolutionary Song / Just a Gigolo is available as a limited edition individually numbered 7" pressed on blue coloured vinyl.
