"Holy Holy" is a song by David Bowie, originally released as a single in January 1971. It was recorded in November 1970,〔Kevin Cann (2010). ''Any Day Now - David Bowie: The London Years: 1947-1974'': p.199〕 after the completion of ''The Man Who Sold the World'', in the perceived absence of a clear single from that album. Like Bowie's two previous singles, it sold poorly and failed to chart. At the time Marc Bolan's Tyrannosaurus Rex was a significant source of inspiration for Bowie. On this track, according to ''NME'' editors Roy Carr and Charles Shaar Murray, "Bolan's influence is so much in the ascendant that it virtually amounts to a case of demonic possession".〔Roy Carr & Charles Shaar Murray (1981). ''Bowie: An Illustrated Record'': pp.32,36〕 The single's B-side was another Tyrannosaurus Rex flavoured song called "Black Country Rock". Bowie performed "Holy Holy" on Britain's Granada Television wearing a dress,〔David Buckley (1999) ''Strange Fascination - David Bowie: The Definitive Story'': pp.97-98,119〕 which he would also wear on the cover of the soon-to-be-released UK edition of ''The Man Who Sold the World''. A more frantic version of the song was recorded in 1971 for ''The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars''.〔 It was dropped from the album, but subsequently appeared as the B-side to "Diamond Dogs" in 1974. This version was also released as a bonus track on the Rykodisc reissue of ''The Man Who Sold the World'' in 1990 (despite the sleeve notes referring to it as the original cut), as well as on the ''Ziggy Stardust – 30th Anniversary Reissue'' bonus disc in 2002. Bowie himself vetoed the inclusion of the original at a late stage, and the single remained the only official release of the 1970 recording until 2015, when it was included on ''Re:Call 1'', part of the ''Five Years (1969–1973)'' compilation. ==Track listing== # "Holy Holy" (Bowie) – 3:13 # "Black Country Rock" (Bowie) – 3:05 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Holy Holy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
