Description
Following her hits throughout the 60s, Lulu signed to Wes Farrell's Chelsea Records label in 1972. The first album for Chelsea, 'Lulu', was recorded with the cream of US session musicians, and includes her interpretations of songs made famous by Aretha Franklin ('Do Right Woman, Do Right Man'), Willie Nelson ('Funny How Time Slips Away'), The Rascals ('Groovin'') and David Cassidy ('Could It Be Forever?'). In late 1973, Lulu hooked up with David Bowie and Mick Ronson, who produced and played on her versions of 'The Man Who Sold The World' (a # 3 hit) and 'Watch That Man'. 1974 saw Lulu record that year's Bond film theme 'The Man With The Golden Gun' with John Barry, and 1975 saw her back in the charts with 'Take Your Mama For A Ride'. These four tracks were rounded up with a further seven recordings and issued as the album 'Heaven And Earth And The Stars' in 1976. The booklet contains full annotation by Alan Robinson.

Woo Hoo !! Thanks Linda !!

Of course, they only released this because I bought the previous 2fer issue (used) on Sequel Records (1999) for a high price some 6 months ago, ugh... But I'll get this, too. I notice they fixed the tracks here in the original running order (Sequel had grabbed both sides of The Man Who Sold The World single from Heaven and stuck them at the beginning of Lulu).

These are fab albums, Lulu sounds fantastic throughout, soulful & fun. All you Bowie fans need this for the tracks he appears on.

I saw where Lulu will be performing in PA at the end of May, looks like her only US show as of now...

I don't have Lulu in any format, so this will be a real treat.

The version of "Watch That Man" and "The Man Who Sold the World" that Bowie did for Lulu are *essential* listening for Bowie fans, as they feature Bowie with his Pin-Ups era band (including Mick Ronson) doing strong rearrangements of both tracks.

It's known that Bowie tried a few other tracks with Lulu - the unused "Dodo" (which circulates), a reported early version of "Can You Hear Me" (which doesn't), and possibly others. Maybe we'll get there, some day...

I've got the 1st 2 on Bowie related comps (I agree they're good & belong in any thorough Bowie collection), & while I'd have to check I think Dodo with Lulu was either on Recall 2 or the 2 disc Diamond Dogs. I'm certain I have it.
