"Suffragette City" is a cover song by Andy Taylor, released as a B-side to his sixth single "Stone Cold Sober" by A&M Records in September 1990.
About the song[]
Written by David Bowie, the song was originally released on his The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars album in 1972. It was later issued as a single in 1976 to promote the Changesonebowie compilation in the UK.
"Suffragette City" features a piano riff heavily influenced by Little Richard and a lyrical reference to the book and film A Clockwork Orange.
Andy Taylor's version was recorded at the Trident II Studios in London during the summer of 1990, when he was recording the covers album Dangerous. This track wasn't included on the album.
The track was later included on the unofficial Dangerous 2006 edition, released by the DD Fan Club.
Simon Le Bon performed the song with Hazel O'Conner in December 1980, which was released on O'Conner's 12" single "Time".
Duran Duran have also covered the song during a Birmingham Christmas Show in 1980.
