Track 78: Hang On to Yourself (The Arnold Corns single version)

The B side to The Arnold Corns single Moonage Daydream is another track that would triumphantly resurface in the Ziggy period (in more ways than one): Hang On to Yourself. In February 1971 Bowie went to the USA for the first time as a guest of Mercury records, playing a few intimate solo gigs to promote the recently released The Man Who Sold the World album. While there, Bowie ran into the legendary rock ‘n’ roller Gene Vincent at a recording studio. Let’s see what you’ve got and have a jam, says Vincent! Bowie had the basics of three new tracks in his head, Ziggy Stardust, Moonage Daydream and Hang On to Yourself – Vincent chose the Eddie Cochrane infused Hang On to Yourself and they jammed it out and cut a demo. Bowie forgot about all this until the son of Tom Ayers, the producer, came across a recording and sent a copy over (see more stuff below). All of which is a bit of a tangent, but tangents are fine! The Arnold Corns is itself a tangent! With Bowie back in the UK, the track was chosen as backing to Moonage Daydream (trackbytrack 77). We know the song so well from the Ziggy-Ronson version, but The Arnold Corns’ version has a real charm, with a whispery, slinky, sleaziness to it, replete with its Bolan-esque panting. In short – it would still be a classic even if not given a new lease of life, along with new lyrics, in the Stardust phase… And indeed, B&G records would go on to release it as an A Side – without Bowie’s permission – in the wake of The Spiders from Mars exploding in late 1972! But more of that a little later…
