"Holy Holy" is a song by David Bowie , originally released as a single in 1971. It was recorded shortly after the completion of '' The Man Who Sold The World '', in the perceived absence of a clear single from that album. Like Bowie’s two previous singles, it sold poorly and failed to chart. At the time ". Bowie performed "Holy Holy" on Britain's Granada Television wearing a dress,David Buckley (1999) ''Strange Fascination - David Bowie: The Definitive Story'': pp.97-98,119 which he would also wear on the cover of the soon-to-be-released UK edition of ''The Man Who Sold the World''. A more frantic version of the song was recorded in 1971 for '' The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars ''. It was dropped from the album, but subsequently appeared as the B-side to " Diamond Dogs " in 1974. This version was also released as a bonus track on the Rykodisc reissue of '' The Man Who Sold The World '' in 1990 (despite the sleeve notes referring to it as the original cut), as well on as the ''Ziggy Stardust - 30th Anniversary Reissue'' bonus disc in 2002. Bowie himself vetoed the inclusion of the original at a late stage, and the single remains the 1970 version's only official release, though it has appeared on several bootlegs.
