Bombers (David Bowie song)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Bombers" is a song written by David Bowie. It was recorded in 1970 and intended for the album Hunky Dory, but was replaced at the last minute by the cover "Fill Your Heart".[1] The song was recorded at the same sessions as "Conversation Piece".
It was released as a promo single by RCA in the US in November 1971, backed by a remix of "Eight Line Poem" that can only be found on this single (both tracks also were issued on an extremely limited edition promotional LP by RCA/Gem). A bootleg version backing "London Bye Ta-Ta" was also released in the early 1970s.[2] The track was eventually given wide release as a bonus track on the Rykodisc reissue of Hunky Dory in 1990.
