"Dancing in the Street 12"" Album Description:
The release of "Dancing in the Street 12" by David Bowie and Mick Jagger represents a significant moment in the history of music, capturing the essence of the 1980s. This maxi-single vinyl, featuring a cover of the iconic 1964 song by Martha and the Vandellas, not only pays homage to the Motown classic but also brings together two legendary figures in the music industry.
The production of this album, overseen by Clive Langer and Alan Winstanley, showcases the collaborative efforts of Bowie and Jagger. The sound and recording engineering talents of Bob Clearmountain, Mark Saunders, and Stephen BenBen contributed to the high-quality audio experience that this vinyl delivers.
The recording process took place at various renowned studios, including West Side Studios, Power Station, Atlantic Studios, and Media Sound Masterdisk. The utilization of multiple studios reflects the dedication to achieving the best possible sound quality and production value for this release. A/T Scharff Rentals also played a role in providing essential equipment for the recording sessions.
The album cover, designed by David Bell for the LIVE-AID Foundation in 1985, adds a layer of significance to the release. The Live Aid concert, a global event organized to raise funds for famine relief in Ethiopia, took place in the same year, making the album cover a testament to the social and humanitarian context of the time.
The cover photography by Jon Hoffmann captures the spirit of the collaboration between Bowie and Jagger, visually representing the energy and dynamism of their rendition of "Dancing in the Street."

Bob Clearmountain, Bob Clearmountain is the behind-the-glass ringmaster who made rock records hit like polished steel. I first clock him in the late 1970s, engineering and mixing for sharp-edged art-rock and new-wave sessions (Roxy Music, The Pretenders). By the early-to-mid 1980s he is the go-to for arena-scale muscle: mixing the Rolling Stones and Bruce Springsteen projects, where the drums punch and the guitars stay wide without turning to fuzz. Across the 1980s into the 1990s he helps Bryan Adams translate bar-room bite into radio-sized thunder, then keeps busy through the 1990s and 2000s remixing and mixing for major catalogs and new cuts alike. His signature is clarity with attitude: every chorus lifts, nothing caves in.
