Description ARTIST: Ron Davies TITLE: It Ain't Easy COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: US LABEL: Almo Music Corp / Irving Music YEAR: c. 1969 CONDITION: VG/VG+; Acetate has some age, marks and wear but no serious issues. Playback is clear and superb!! DETAILS: rare, possibly unique one-sided acetate by Ron Davies. This is an acoustic version of the track with Ron singing to acoustic guitar and harmonica accompaniment. It's a spellbinding performance. It is a DIFFERENT VERSION than either of the ones that appear on Ron's albums and remains unreleased. This is very possibly the demo that David Bowie heard when deciding to record it in 1971. Bowie's brilliant version was released on the world-changing Ziggy Stardust album, of course. The disc comes in an original Irving Music sleeve which is vintage and looks nice. There is also a copy of the sheet music that was included with the demo, and is dated 1969. This is a rare, possibly once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a little slice of Ziggy history.
