Liza Jane / Louie, Louie Go Home (1964)
Davie Jones With The King Bees
Label: Vocalion Pop
Cat.No: V.9221
Format: 7 inch Single
Forty years ago, on June 5th 1964, the first ever Bowie single was released!
Featuring a 17 year old Davie Jones (vocals and saxophone), George Underwood (guitar), Roger Black (guitar), Francis Howard (bass) and Robert Allen (drums).
"Liza Jane", although credited to Leslie Conn, David's manager who had negotiated a one-single deal with Decca, the song was actually an old Negro spiritual that the band had played around with and turned into an R'n'B song.
Backed with "Louie, Louie Go Home", written by Paul Revere, both songs were recorded in a seven-hour session at Decca Studios in Broadhurst Gardens, West Hampstead, London.
Very few original copies of this Vocalion single still exist. Here is a stunning example! As you can see in the photos below, the matrix numbers stamped in the run-out groove are:
CPDRF-33318-TI-IC (Liza Jane)
and CPDRF-33317-TI-IC (Louie, Louie Go Home).
The record has a few inevitable light surface marks and the initials 'BP' have been written in biro on the push-out centre. However, this remains a stunning example and comes complete with its original Vocalion die-cut sleeve.
A real piece of history for the Bowie collector!
