David Bowie and the Spiders From Mars - Peel Session 1972

The session recorded by David Bowie and the Spiders From Mars on 11 January 1972 for John Peel on the 'Friday Night Is Boogie Night' show on BBC Radio 1 and broadcast on the 28th of that month. Track 4 wasn't broadcast until the repeat on 31 March 1972. Hang On To Yourself was also recorded for this session but I have yet to find an authentic copy of this track. All recordings of the track purporting to be from this session that I've heard are actually from the Bob Harris session recorded a week later on 18 January 1972. If found then I'll re-upload the complete session. The BBC wiped the original recording many years ago and therefore no longer have the session, so the sound quality here is acceptable under the circumstances.

1. Ziggie Stardust [sic] (0:07)
2. Queen Bitch (3:25)
