THE LAUGHING GNOME
b/w
RUBBER BAND
SPAIN ONLY DERAM ISSUE
INDEX SDM MO1378, YEAR 1973, 45RPM, STEREO
In 1973 David Bowies popularity during his Ziggy Stardust period was so great that his early record company DERAM released this back catalogue song with a stunning early Ziggy Stardust picture sleeve. This is the earliest evolutionary Ziggy picture to make it onto a commercial sleeve that I know of and certainly the earliest live Ziggy shot ever published by Deram (Italian RCA Jean Genie issue was shot later).
In Europe, the record also has great historical value as it was only ever released in this form in Spain where Bowie was know as El Rey Del Gay Power - which in dictator General Franco's day confined Bowie (and probably his fans) to the status of serious "underground" political figures.
This PS cover is in excellent condition for its 30 years of age (see scans provided). The record vinyl has little signs of playing and two very nice clean original green / silver Deram labels (no stamps or writing) and will make a great addition to any DB collector.
