When It Was Recorded
It is said that Bowie recorded it at Trident Studios in 1973 during the Aladdin Sane sessions. Although there was an interview by Martin Hayman at the end of the Pinups sessions at the Château d'Hérouville that had Bowie play Zion and said it was a demo for the next album (Diamond Dogs) and was going to be used in the new 1984 musical which Bowie was planning at the time.

Famous quotes containing the words when it and/or recorded:
“I have a talent for silence and brevity. I can keep silent when it seems best to do so, and when I speak I can, and do usually, quit when I am done. This talent, or these two talents, I have cultivated. Silence and concise, brief speaking have got me some laurels, and, I suspect, lost me some. No odds. Do what is natural to you, and you are sure to get all the recognition you are entitled to.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time,
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
