"Love You till Tuesday" is a song written and performed by David Bowie. The first version of the song, recorded in February 1967, was included on Bowie's debut album. A second version, released as a single, was recorded on 3 June 1967 and released on 14 July 1967. The single garnered good notices from the music press but, like his earlier singles, failed to break into the British charts. It was his final new release for Deram Records. Bowie's 1969 showpiece film Love You till Tuesday took its name from the song, which also featured over the opening credits.
Single version
The critics of Record Retailer, Record Mirror and Melody Maker all praised the single. In a column reviewing recently released singles, Bowie influence Syd Barrett told Melody Maker in May 1967, "Yeah, it's a joke number. Jokes are good...I think people will like the bit about it being Monday, when in fact it was Tuesday. Very chirpy, but I don't think my toes were tapping at all."
The single version was a complete remake of the original, including a new vocal, a string arrangement by Ivor Raymonde and an excerpt of "Hearts and Flowers" from Czibulka's Winter Marching.
