Soon it will be filled with parking cars
That line always lept out at me. Don't know why.
I also used to listen to this a lot (in college in the eighties probably) then forgot about it, great to hear it again.
I don't think it was on the greatest hits I used to have on my iPod. I had to take that off because it kept playing Coney Island Baby to death on shuffle. Maybe need to reinstate.
Me too. Was that Bowie doing that?
Really enjoyed your version here, Pete. Nice relaxed performance and great clear production.

Thanks everybody for your comments!
You're right Nick - Bowie did backing vocals on the Transformer version - can tell its definitely him on the outro. i was tempted to add some backing vocals but decided to keep it as simple as possible - one guitar track, one bass track, one vocal and a bit of keyboard towards the end.
64 Guitars gave me some tips on using Audacity - I'd been setting my recording levels too high on the BR600 and he analysed one of my tracks on Audacity to show the clipping. I took a lot more care with the levels this time and when I'd mastered it on the BR600 and exported the Wav file, I imported it to Audacity and no clipping at all.

Pete C, I know that Transformer is produced by David Bowie and Mick Ronson... David Bowie "providing background vocals, especially at the final chorus" said Wikipedia... And David Bowie is able to sing like Lou Reed, and he does it on some songs...
Great Cover, I like it!!!
