In case you didn’t know: the live recording of Arnold Layne (Pink Floyd’s first single, about some creepy guy who steals knickers off washing lines!), from the May 30th ’06 David Gilmour concert at the Albert Hall, came out as a single on Dec 26th.
‘So what?’ you ask. Okay. The show coincided with Mr. D. Bowie’s visit to the UK to film his cameo in Extras. He was asked to perform lead vocals. And he did a fabulous job.
Wouldn’t it be nice if this release could put an end to the 20+ year agony of Bowie’s final No. 1 single being Dancing in the Street in duet with Mick “Leatherneck” Jagger? And, lest we forget, DB celebrates his 60th birthday on January 8th…
If you care, go buy it! If not from the shops, then here.
