[c] [1] [63] [66] By this time, the sessions for Ziggy Stardust were underway. [63] The album release was supported by the single "Changes" on 7 January 1972. [23] The album received little promotion from RCA due to its unusual cover image and a warning that Bowie would be changing his image for his next album. Pegg writes that there were disagreements over how much money was put into the album and whether Bowie was an "unproven one-hit-wonder". [3] Marketing manager Geoff Hannington recalled in 1986: "We soon knew we were in a situation where the artist was going to change like a chameleon from time to time." [63] Because of this, the album initially sold poorly and failed to break the UK Albums Chart. [67] According to Sandford, the album barely sold 5,000 copies in the first quarter. [68]

The song "Andy Warhol" is a tribute to American artist, producer, and director Andy Warhol, [19] who had inspired Bowie since the mid-1960s and was described by him as "one of the leaders" of "the media of the streets, street messages". [48] Originally written for Bowie's friend Dana Gillespie, [49] the song is based around a riff played on two acoustic guitars that heavily resembles the intro of Ron Davies' "Silent Song Across the Land". [50] The lyrics emphasise Warhol's belief that life and art blur together. [48] The song's opening features Ken Scott saying "This is 'Andy Warhol', and it's take one", only for Bowie to correct his pronunciation of "Warhol". [12] [50] When Bowie met Warhol in September 1971 and played the song for him, Warhol hated it and left the room; Bowie recalled in 1997 that he found the meeting "fascinating" because Warhol had "nothing to say at all, absolutely nothing". [50] Hunky Dorys is the fastest growing crisp brand and the number 1 crinkle cut crisp brand in Ireland. Established in 1996, Hunky Dorys is a truly satisfying chunky alternative to standard crisps. Hunky Dorys is known for its fun, extrovert and cheeky nature with strong flavours, including the infamous Buffalo flavour, inspired by the herd of Buffalo located near the factory in Co. Meath."Hunky Dorys campaigns over the years have been edgier than your typical crisp brand. A playful and exciting brand, Hunky Dorys has a great sense of humour. The brand loves to engage and entertain its consumers through its marketing campaigns. Most recently, the Hunky Dorys ‘Rugby’ and ‘Football’ campaigns were very favourably received.”

History

Sandford, Christopher (1998) [1997]. Bowie: Loving the Alien. New York: Da Capo Press. ISBN 978-0-306-80854-8. Love them or loathe them - and a wildfire response to the story online tells us that there are plenty of Telegraph readers in each camp - this week’s furore over the scantily clad women adorning billboard ads for Hunky Dory crisps tells us more about the angry, scared society we live in than any MORI poll every could.

I guess it provided me, for the first time in my life, with an actual audience – I mean, people actually coming up to me and saying, 'Good album, good songs.' That hadn't happened to me before.
