“Sometimes I'm so glad, so glad”
Released this day (August 20th) in 1965 was the Davy Jones 45, You’ve Got A Habit Of Leaving.
Baby Loves That Way was on the flip and both songs were composed by the young Jones before he Bowied-up for his next release the following year.
Produced by Shel Talmy (who was producing The Who and The Kinks at the time), and backed by The Lower Third, the influence of Townshend and his gang is more than apparent on both sides of this disc. (Listen to them both on the Bowie 1965! EP.
Today’s graphic is not an attempt at a fake sleeve, rather an illustration of the fact that Ziggy Stardust time travelled to London’s Heddon Street and nicked the young Jones’ hairdo, before he nipped forward seven years for a photo session in the same street. True story.
Either way, Bowie thought enough of both the A and B sides to rerecord them in 2000 for the Toy project. Both remakes were released as extra tracks on the third Everyone Says 'Hi' UK CD single in 2002 and the Japanese Slow Burn CD single in the same year.
