Changes Single: 1972

Bowie's Andy Warhol B-Side

Released as a 7-inch vinyl single in the UK on January 7, 1972, on RCA Victor (catalogue: RCA 2160 / 74-0605), David Bowie’s “Changes” — backed with “Andy Warhol” — was the lead single from Hunky Dory. Produced by Ken Scott (assisted by The Actor), both tracks written by Bowie. Issued in solid centre, 4 prong centre, promo, mono, and reissue variants.

"Not a disturbing or fantasy disc like some of Bowie's previous singles, but a shrewd insight into the contemporary scene." - Derek Johnson (NME)
