Mick Ronson's One-Page Article in New Musical Express, January 26, 1974.

MICK RONSON, former leader of David Bowie's backing group the Spiders From Mars, launches his solo career in style next month when he headlines two major concerts at London Rainbow Theatre on Friday and Saturday, February 22 and 23. And further concert dates, in key provincial cities, are at present being lined up for him. Ronson will be supported by Mike Garson (key- boards), Trevor Bolder (bass) and Ayn- sley Dunbar (drums).

Ronson, whose debut solo single "Love Me Tender" has just been released, has his first album issued by RCA on February 15. Titled "Slaughter On Tenth Avenue", it was produced, arranged and mixed by Ronson, who is featured on all the vocals. He also wrote most of the tracks, although the album does include a new Bowie composition titled "Growing Up In Advance". TV appearances for Ronson are at present being negotiated.
