The new collection will bring together a range of unreleased material, including the single ‘I Want Your Love’, which is already available to listen to. Other songs included are titled ‘You’ve Got a Habit of Leaving’, ‘Baby Loves That Way’, ‘Cupid’, ‘Leave Her to Me’, ‘You Gotta Tell Her’, ‘Certain Woman’, ‘Today’, ‘I Live in Dreams’, and ‘I Do Believe I Love You’.

In his sleeve notes that accompany the album, musician and music historian Alex Palao writes: “David Bowie the artist is a book of chapters, the turn of each page delivering something completely different and unexpected from the last.

“Each fascinating phase in his career should be considered complementary. This collection, a primary chapter if not the very earliest instalment in David’s musical journey, deserves legitimate consideration,” he continues.

The producer of this new album is none other than Shel Talmy. Bowie and Talmy first encountered each other while visiting London’s Denmark Street, which was the centre of the British music industry at the time. Songwriters would frequent the street to sell their songs to the big publishers at the time.

Bowie was picked up and signed by Talmy in December 1964. The majority of Bowie’s recordings with Talmy were solo demos or featured The Lower Third. A year after these songs were created, the singer changed his name to the one we all know and love: David Bowie.
