2019
 is the 40th anniversary of Lodger and 17th May sees the release of the 
latest limited 7″ picture disc from Parlophone, Boys Keep Swinging. 
While
 originally recording the song, Bowie had hoped to capture a garage band
 feel with the musicians swapping instruments after a deck of Brian 
Eno’s Oblique Strategies cards had suggested ‘reverse roles’. So 
guitarist Carlos Alomar played drums and drummer Dennis Davis played 
bass. 
The version featured on the A side is the 
2017 mix by Tony Visconti from Lodger, undertaken for the A New Career 
In A New Town box set, as both Tony and Bowie felt they never had the 
opportunity to give Lodger the mix it deserved in 1979, due to time and 
studio constraints. 
The AA side features I Pray, 
Ole which was apparently recorded during the Lodger sessions, but 
remained unreleased until mixed by David and David Richards for 
inclusion as an extra track on the 1991 reissue of the Lodger album. The
 track has been commercially unavailable since then.
