David Bowie ~ Holy Holy ULTRA RARE Aussie Mercury 45
UNIQUE NON-LP A-side <> March 1971
David Bowie – Holy Holy 45 (orig. Australia MONO Mercury 6052 049—1971, UNIQUE NON-LP A-SIDE)
Recorded June 1970 (A-side) & between 18 April-22 May 1970 (B-side) ~ release date: March 1971 (UK: 17 January 1971).
On offer here is an ULTRA RARE original issue of DAVID BOWIE’s second Australian 7” single. The flipside of this single also appears on 'The Man Who Sold The World' LP. However, the 3:13 SINGLE EDIT of 'Holy Holy' DOES NOT APPEAR ELSEWHERE!
These hardly ever turn up, so do not miss this opportunity to acquire one of the RAREST DAVID BOWIE VINYL ARTEFACTS ever issued worldwide! IN FACT, I HAVE NOT SEEN ANOTHER COPY IN OVER 20 YEARS OF COLLECTING RECORDS.
