On the subject of Bowie...
Heard Lulu's rather good cover of The Man Who Sold The World on the radio today.
Who else on skronky sax, but Dave himself.

This may not be the whole story but is at least interesting
The Who's "Can't Explain" sessions: It is possible but still the mists of time swirl slightly to obscure things..............that the six string guitar work on this single is the work of Jimmy Page !
YouTube - The Who- I Can't Explain
Pete Townsend seems to have a few reservations about discussing this :happy:
Page also worked on the "b" side Bald Headed Woman

Guitar : Davey Johnstone ( Elton John Band , Magna Carta )
This guy's work is so underrated.

Interesting 1969 track which charted in the UK at no 6

Although it looks like a mild and typical late sixties track this is a Led Zeppelin collectors item: we have a host of session men,
Jimmy Page Guitar
John Paul Jones: Guitar
Albert Hammond : Vocals, Guitar
The album( A Way Of Life ) also is an all star affair.
