Holy Holy was a single by David Bowie. The song was recorded shortly after the completion of The Man Who Sold the World, in the perceived absence of a clear single from that album. Like Bowie’s previous two singles, it sold poorly and failed to chart.
A more frantic version was recorded in 1971, planned for The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. It was dropped from the album, but subsequently appeared as the B-side to “Diamond Dogs’’ in 1974. This version was also released as a bonus track on the Rykodisc rerelease of The Man Who Sold the World in 1990 (despite the sleevenotes referring to it as the original version), as well as the Ziggy Stardust - 30th Anniversary Reissue bonus disc in 2002. Bowie himself vetoed the inclusion of the original version at a late stage, and the single issue remains the 1970 version's only official release, though it has appeared on several bootlegs.
It was later covered by Rozz Williams' Deathrock band, Shadow Project, as the last song on their eponymous debut.
