Bowi
''Bowi'' was the first EP released on Stiff Records. Recorded by Nick Lowe, who had also released the first Stiff single, the title and cover were intended as a humorous response to the David Bowie album ''Low'', which had been released earlier in the year. Lowe decided that as Bowie had made an album with his name, but without the final ''e'', he would reciprocate by making a record with Bowie's name, also lacking the final ''e''. Of the four tracks on the EP, only "Marie Provost" was initially re-released on an album, 1978's ''Jesus of Cool'' (issued as ''Pure Pop for Now People'' in the US), although all four tracks appear on the 2008 deluxe re-release edition of ''Jesus of Cool''. The opening track "Born a Woman", written by Martha Sharp, had previously been performed by Sandy Posey "as a lament about the world's cruelty and inequality", whereas Lowe sings it with glee, unclear whether he is "decrying the information he's sharing or reveling in it". "Marie Provost" was ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Bowie Race Track
The Bowie Race Track was a horse racing track located just outside the city limits of Bowie, Maryland.

A Biography
''A Biography'' is John Mellencamp's second released album (third recorded), and last credited to his then-stage name "Johnny Cougar." Recorded in London, it was released in the U.K. and Australia by Riva Records on March 6, 1978. Due to poor sales of Mellencamp's debut album, ''Chestnut Street Incident'', ''A Biography'' did not receive a U.S. release upon its 1978 debut. Two of its tracks, "Taxi Dancer" and the single " I Need a Lover," were also included on his 1979 album '' John Cougar'', which was released in the U.S. In Australia, however, " I Need a Lover" became a Top 10 hit, giving Mellencamp his first taste of success. The song would eventually crack the Top 40 in the U.S. in late 1979 when released as a single from his '' John Cougar'' album. AllMusic reviewer Stephen Thomas Erlewine described "I Need a Lover" as Mellencamp's "first good song." ''A Biography'', along with all Mellencamp's other Riva Records/Mercury Records albums, were remastered and re-released i ...
