Originally recorded and released as a B-side (to "Moonage Daydream") by the short-lived band Arnold Corns, which Bowie writing songs for as a side-project. Later re-recorded both tracks for his classic album ZIGGY STARDUST. "Hang On to Yourself" in ifferent markets at different times became a B-side for other Bowie singles from "John, I'm Only Dancing" to "Starman" to "The Jean Genie" to "Looking for a Friend."
"Hang" is a short, fast & furious rocker that at the time in the early 70s, obviously influenced by early Rolling Stones records if given a slight taste of the Glam Rock that Bowie was then driving all the way to the bank. Now in retrospect, it comes off as proto-punk rock.
