"ALABAMA SONG" was originally released in the UK on February 15, 1980. It was written as a poem by Bertolt Brecht in 1925 and set to music by Kurt Weill for the play Little Mahogany in 1927. David Bowie was a long-time Brecht fan and included the song in the setlist of his Isolar II tour in 1978. The studio version of "ALABAMA SONG" on Side A of this release was recorded at Tony Visconti's Good Earth Studios in Soho, London on July 2, 1978, the day after the final concert of the European leg of the tour. Side AA contains two previously unreleased tracks: a rendition of "Heroes" by "JOE THE LION" recorded at the soundcheck of the last concert of the tour at Earls Court on 1 July 1978. Although "JOE THE LION" was rehearsed for the Isolar II tour, it did not make its live debut until the Serious Moonlight tour in 1983. The second track on the AA side is a live version of "ALABAMA SONG", also recorded on 1 July 1978 - this is a different performance to the live album Welcome To The Blackout.
