[PAR] [TLE] Memory of a Free Festival [SEP] "Memory of a Free Festival" is a 1970 single by David Bowie.  The song had originally been recorded in September 1969 as a seven-minute opus for Bowie's second self-titled album.  It was reworked in March-April 1970 at the behest of Mercury Records, the label believing that the track had a better chance of success as a single than "The Prettiest Star", released earlier in the year.  Bowie and Tony Visconti roughly split the track in half, re-recording it so both halves could function as individual songs.  A more rock-oriented version than the earlier album cut, this rendition marked guitarist Mick Ronson's and drummer Mick Woodmansey's studio debut with Bowie's band, bringing together the line-up that would shortly record "The Man Who Sold the World". [PAR] [TLE] The Man Who Sold the World [SEP] "The Man Who Sold the World" is a song written and performed by David Bowie.  It is the title track of his third album, which was released in the US in November 1970 and in the UK in April 1971.
