I much prefer the earlier, bolan guitar version of the song, its one of my favourite tracks ever recorded.
I dislike the Aladdin sane version in comparison over produced and loses all the charm of the original.
Does any one know of any completion LP's with the earlier version? -
Edited 8 years agoYes but IMHO it's not as good a version as when Bowie redid it on 'Aladdin Sane'. Rumour has it that such was the rivalry at that time between Bolan and Bowie that the former deliberately under-cooked the guitar solo so as to sabotage the record. -
It's true: Marc Bolan is the lead guitarist on this early version of "The Prettiest Star". Nicholas Pegg confirms this in "The Complete David Bowie" (2004).
