Historical Footnote:

Over Forty Five years ago, on June 5th 1964, the first ever David Bowie single was released!

Featuring a 17 year old Davie Jones (vocals and saxophone), George Underwood (guitar), Roger Black (guitar), Francis Howard (bass) and Robert Allen (drums).

"Liza Jane", although credited to Leslie Conn, David's manager who had negotiated a one-single deal with Decca, the song was actually an old Negro spiritual that the band had played around with and turned into an R'n'B song.

Backed with "Louie, Louie Go Home", written by Paul Revere, both songs were recorded in a seven-hour session at Decca Studios in Broadhurst Gardens, West Hampstead, London.

Absolutely essential record for any serious David Bowie fan or 60s mod / freakbeat collectors!!
