Edited to add that first track quotes Rogers and HArt song. Acknowledged only on later issues (no doubt after copyright protests!)
Interestingly the original vinyl album is credited to "Bowie" rather than "David Bowie" - the name David isn't mentioned anywhere on the sleeve or label. Is this also the case for CD reissues? 217.155.20.163 21:12, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
The reason for the one-word "Bowie" designation on the album is that Tony Defries had the idea of "re-branding" him with a single name, like Cher or Liberace. So it's consistently just "Bowie" on the album; in the TV ads for the album, etc. That idea didn't last long--just a few months later, with David Live, his first name was back in use. glenntwo ( talk) 17:19, 25 January 2019 (UTC)
I am investigating the history of where David Bowie got the lyrics to this song in particular as so very many of the lines are exactly worded in S. Delaney's first book, Dhalgren, published in 1973 out of New York I believe. Also, Delaney, I have been told, took approximately 10 years to produce this book, making the wording within it much, much older than the lyrics written in Bowie's Sweet Thing. Should be interesting. Both, it seems, come from Theater of Cruelty and/or Theater of the Absurd genre. —Preceding unsigned comment added by QStick ( talk • contribs) 01:01, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
Was this ever recorded without the 'live' background? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.159.101.44 ( talk) 18:56, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
The crowd noise that bridges "Future Legend" and "Diamond Dogs" was actually borrowed from Rod Stewart; it comes from the recording of his live Faces album, "Coast to Coast." glenntwo ( talk) 17:21, 25 January 2019 (UTC)
Re: The crowd noise from the Rod Stewart album, you can also hear Stewart himself shouting "Hey!". I don't know if this is mentioned in any other source but it's not mentioned here. SamXT ( talk) 11:43, 24 July 2021 (UTC)
Have subsequent re-releases of the album stripped the dog/man hybrid of it bikinis and allowed the genetalia??? User:JCHeverly 20:54, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
The image of Bowie had the original artwork, with genitalia, restored on the vinyl reissue/remaster in the 1990s, and as far as I know, all subsequent CD releases, in the UK, at least.
To the best of my knowledge, the background creatures have always worn bikinis. SamXT ( talk) 11:49, 24 July 2021 (UTC)

In the writing and recording section, a song is mentioned called Take It In Right, and is mentioned as being a demo of the song 'Right' from Young Americans a year later. Listening to the song (forget about the citation), the song is OBVIOUSLY an early version of the song 'Can You Hear Me', also recorded later for Young Americans. I'd like to remove or correct this, but I hesitate to tamper with anything with a citation attached to it.. Robbmonster ( talk) 12:08, 17 April 2021 (UTC)

The nominating editor Zmbro has indicated a desire to make further edits to the article in the future to keep it up to date which is perfectly fine. As already mentioned above, the article is well-written and well-researched. There appear to be no copy-vii problems and all the images appear to check-out on Wikemedia. In this case, the nominating editor has not only improved the article to get it to good article status but has also shown an ability to keep improving the article into the future. Promoting article on this day. ErnestKrause ( talk) 21:00, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
