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)
“He that is born to be hanged shall never be drowned.”
—14th-century French proverb, first recorded in English in A. Barclay, Gringore’s Castle of Labour (1506)
