David Bowie Instagram – BOWIE COLLECTS EDISON AWARD 50 YEARS AGO TODAY

“It’s made out of old fisherman…”

On this day in 1974 (13th February), David Bowie attended a press reception at the Amstel Hotel in Amsterdam, where Ad Visser (host of Dutch music show Top Pop), presented him with the Edison Award and a certificate for the Most Popular Male Vocalist, with particular recognition given to Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders From Mars.

Recalling an earlier trip to London to visit David, Visser poured two glasses of an “old fisherman drink”, Schelvispekel*, to toast David’s win. 

David made the most of his visit to the Netherlands, including further work on the forthcoming Diamond Dogs album, several photo sessions with the new look and a recording of Rebel Rebel for Top Pop, which was broadcast a few weeks later. 

Watch a recently remastered version here on the TopPop YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8BzPxWvdAs (Linktree in bio)

Here’s David speaking about that new ‘pirate’ look in 1993:

“I I had conjunctivitis, so I made the most of it and dressed like a pirate. Stopped just short of the parrot. I had this most incredible jacket that I was wearing that night, it was a bottle-green bolero jacket that Freddie made for me, and he got an artist to paint, using the appliqué technique, this supergirl from a Russian comic on the back. But I took the jacket off during the press conference and somebody stole it.”

The light-fingered journalist who lifted the jacket is well known and has made no attempt to hide their identity, in fact, quite the opposite. So, no need to give them more publicity here.
