That is the movie soundtrack version. It's not on Let's dance. He had to rerecord it for Let's Dance because MCA Records refused to license it to EMI America. I'm a bit undecided as to which is the superior version. Stevie Ray Vaughan plays lead guitar on the Let's Dance version but the atmosphere on the movie version with the drums in the beginning and a slower more menacing tempo is what I first got used to.
Yeah, that's a conundrum. I do like the Stevie Ray guitar, but I like the dramatic flair of the movie version too.

Cat people easily the best of a bad bunch.
Bowie's best work was well behind him by the time Let's Dance came out.

I saw Bowie on his ''serious moonlight'' tour for the Let's Dance album in '83. He played for about two and a half hours.
Still one of the most memorable gigs I ever saw.
I was never a huge Bowie fan, but I did listen to a lot of Ziggy growing up, that was part of the soundtrack of the 70's

My stepmother, when she was still just my Da's girlfriend, she was big into Let's Dance and the new look Bowie for that tour, pretty sure she went to the concert too.

The album I played the most over the years was changesonebowie, favorite track is Ziggy Stardust

I think my favorite of the 70's was prolly Clapton back then.

Everybody should just post top 40 hits from the past fifty years because there's still a chance some of us never heard those tracks before.

I was into Disco too though, life was all about girls, dancing with girls, "making out" with girls.

Smoking weed with girls.



We didn't have much porn back then, just Playboy and Penthouse if we could get our hands on it,

I think that's why we were so obsessed with girls, we didn't know anything, they were mysterious.

One time my parents were away and my tween girlfriend Jessica came over and we were making out in my bed.

Nothing serious, but she did take her shirt off, that was prolly the greatest moment of my life to that date. lol.

Hunky Dory was probably the one I played the most.
Kooks was a favourite.

I don't think I made it that far into the movie, I couldn't stick with that one.

I thought it was going to be about the Brad Pitt character cracking funny lines, based on the trailer.

Turns out it's about the chick in the movie theater.

I got Rick Rolled.
