2021 restock. Her memoir
Dana Gillespie: Weren't Born a Man
was recently published by Hawksmoor Publishing. "Vinilisssimo present a reissue of
Dana Gillespie
's
Weren't Born A Man
, originally released in 1973. Hardcore
David Bowie
fans should have heard by now about the so-called
Bowpromo
album (2011). It contains "rough mixes" of original tracks that would later be included on the
Hunky Dory
(1971) and
Ziggy Stardust
(1972) albums, as well as an exclusive track and the early (and shorter) versions of some amazing songs that would later make their way into Dana Gillespie's
Weren't Born A Man
: "Mother, Don't Be Frightened" and "Andy Warhol". In fact, these two tracks on Dana's album were produced by Bowie and
Mick Ronson
, featuring
Trevor Bolder
and
Mick Woodmansey
, members of
The Spiders from Mars
, as the backing band.
Weren't Born A Man
is Gillespie's third album after some previous folk and pop recordings and a rather successful career as an actress. She played
Mary Magdalene
in the first London production of
Jesus Christ Superstar
in 1972. However, her involvement in music would soon be connected to some of the key players in the London scene, such as
Mick Jagger
,
Jimmy Page
and David Bowie. But there is much more to this album that just Bowie's glam sound influence. "All Cut Up On You", "All Gone", "Eternal Showman" or the title track are all outstanding tracks on their own that show Dana Gillespie's various moods, from mellow notes to sexually ambiguous statements. Sadly, record sales did not match RCA's expectations and after one more album, Dana was forced to take a long break on her recording activity, one that would eventually lead her to a very different approach to music. During the '80s, Gillespie made a comeback becoming a member of the
Mojo Blues Band
and her career as a blues singer has not stopped since then, releasing over 25 albums to date. 43 years after its original release,
Weren't Born A Man
stands as a must-have record for anyone with an interest in '70s music. 180 gram vinyl.
