David Bowie Instagram – RANDOM BOWIE COLLECTABLE – 001: TMWFTE FRENCH LOBBY CARDS

“Hallo Spaceboy…” 

Here’s a new feature we’ll be running if it doesn’t prove to be a bit too niche. We’ll be looking at Bowie collectables with the focus on the possible pitfalls associated with each item. 

The spin-offs associated with a film’s release would be too long to list here, suffice to say, lobby cards are a gentle way in for the novice collector and a rewarding one at that. 

Lobby cards are a set of stills from a film which are displayed in the lobby or foyer of a cinema. Most commonly around A4 in size, they are usually printed on card, and sometimes thinner glossy paper. Lobby cards were usually sent to cinemas or handed out at press conferences in envelopes along with press kits and posters. 

Today we’re showing you the 24 cards that were issued for the French release of The Man Who Fell To Earth (L’HOMME QUI VENAIT D’AILLEURS) in which David played T J Newton. (The French title translates to The Man From Elsewhere)

Even if you only concentrated on memorabilia from The Man Who Fell To Earth, it’s unlikely that your collection would ever be complete. But lobby cards are a great thing to concentrate on if you find them appealing.

The reason we’ve started on this one is because there is currently a plethora of these on online auction sites. But there are a few things to bear in mind before you shell out. 

Many of these sets have been split up with the cards being sold individually. This is one of the reasons it’s so hard to find a complete set of L’HOMME QUI VENAIT D’AILLEURS cards these days.

Things to bear in mind are how many cards were originally in the set, often incomplete sets are offered with no mention that they aren’t complete. 

Also, ask the seller if they are genuine or reproductions of some kind? Some of this knowledge can only be gained through experience. 

At least five countries around the globe (probably more) produced lobby card sets for TMWFTE, though this French set of 24 contains the most, there were just 8 in the UK set, for example.

David Bowie Instagram – BOWIE AND BURROUGHS IN ROLLING STONE 50 YEARS AGO TODAY

“If you want it, boys, Get it here thing…”

Fifty years ago today on 28th February 1974, Rolling Stone published a double interview with William Burroughs and David Bowie overseen by Craig Copetas.

Titled Beat Godfather Meets Glitter MainMan the interview took place on 17th November 1973 in Bowie’s London home, with pictures taken by Terry O’Neill.

It’s a fascinating read, and a great snapshot of the time, You can read the full thing here over on the brilliant Bowie resource, Bowie Golden Years: https://www.bowiegoldenyears.com/press/74-02-28-rolling-stone.html (Linktree in bio)

Before you go though, it may be worth bearing this snippet in mind from the interview…

+ – + – + – + – + – + – + – + – + – + – + – + – +

Bowie: I change my mind a lot. I usually don’t agree with what I say very much. I’m an awful liar.

Burroughs: I am too.

Bowie: I’m not sure whether it’s me changing my mind, or whether I lie a lot. It’s somewhere between the two. I don’t exactly lie, I change my mind all the time. People are always throwing things at me that I’ve said and I say that I didn’t mean anything. You can’t stand still on one point your entire life.

+ – + – + – + – + – + – + – + – + – + – + – + – +

Aside from Terry’s images, the colour shot is of the hand-coloured Wild Boys badge Bowie made. He is pictured wearing it at Studio 54. The final image is Jimmy King’s portrait of Bowie sat beneath one of Terry’s portraits in 2013.
