from The Singles 1969 To 1993 (Featuring His Greatest Hits):

"The US edition of The Singles has the 7" versions of "Heroes"/DJ/Ashes To Ashes/Fashion/Let's Dance/China Girl/Modern Love/Absolute Beginners/Jump They Say and a unique edits of Space Oddity/TVC 15/Loving The Alien/Day-In Day-Out."

As an aside, as per another thread on this forum (but not this sub-forum), Let's Dance/China Girl/Modern Love are all unique edits, too, not the original single versions.

It was only recently I discovered that Stay uses exactly the same chords as this song.

i like very much this funky song. The intro is quite identical to the sax intro and theme of "keep on Dancing" a song composed in 1968 by the Scott brothers and recorded with Alvin Cash. The commodores recorded too this song in 1969.

That's an excellent find - good work!

Regarding the identical chord sequences of 'Stay' and 'John, I'm Only Dancing (Again)' - David himself has acknowledged this. A friend of mine who is far cleverer than I am with mixing software has tried combining the two tracks for fun - 'Stay' has a marginally brisker tempo which needed tweaking just a fraction, but once the beats are in sync the two tracks play together perfectly, with no discords or dissonance at all. :)

Thank you!

Yes John I'm only dancing and Stay play together perfectly !

Stay has another intro and I think that bowie revamped it with something of the funk production of the 70's. If you listen to attentively the "Sun Goddess" intro - Ramsey Lewis & Earth Wind & Fire ( 1974) . You will find many resemblances with the Stay intro.

Played recently "No one receiving" from the Before and After Science ( Brian Eno 1977 ) and noticed that he revamped the Funky rhytmic of Stay.
