Louie, Louie Go Home

The B-side of the first David Bowie single was:

[2:12] LOUIE, LOUIE GO HOME ([Paul] Revere [w/Mark Lindsay])...CPDR.33317
from B-side Vocalion Pop V-9221 (E) 64-06-05

Music Director and Production: Leslie Conn

This is a cover of a Paul Revere and the Raiders song. On the original pressing, Mark Lindsay's credit was missing. When this single was reissued in England in 1978 as Decca F-13807, Lindsay's credit was restored.

Both sides were recorded at Decca's West Hampstead Studios (Vocalion was a jazz division of Decca and Vocalion Pop was an unsuccessful attempt at an imprint that carried American-style R&B that would be more popular with young adults at the time. Hence, the reissue on Decca's main label years after Vocalion Pop was shut down.)
