Life on mars - Wall Street Crash

Twenty years ago, while I was studying, a girl I knew was very interested in David Bowie. Then, one day, she said that she was also looking for records by Wall Street Crash. She asked me - knowing that I was an avid collector of records - to look out for singles and LP's by this band. A week later, I went to Leiden and bought one LP and three singles by Wall Street Crash for her.

One of those singles was this one: a cover of David Bowie's 'Life on Mars'. Needless to say, she was very glad with the find, and especially this single. I played it before I gave it away, and had to admit that this was quite a good cover version. It's amusing that I found the single after such a long time in the very same shop!

My collection: 7" single no. 4671
Found: All that music, Leiden, March 13, 2010
Cost: 1 euro
Tracks: 'Life on Mars' / 'The mountains o'Mourne', 'Shot down'
