thebasement67 notes:
During 2000, David Bowie became enthused on a new project of re-recording some of his lesser-known songs, written in the early years of his career. These re-recordings plus three new songs were to appear on a new album titled ‘Toy’ in 2001.
The release failed to materialise because Virgin didn’t own the rights to the older songs. Bowie then formed his own record label ISO, after leaving Virgin at the end of 2001, but failed to release the album, quickly moving on to write and record ‘Heathen’.
The Toy songs: Uncle Floyd (re-recorded and re-titled Slip Away) and Afraid (remixed) appeared on ‘Heathen’ (2002). Baby Loves That Way, Conversation Piece, Shadow Man (longer with strings), You've Got a Habit Of Leaving (remixed) appeared on the associated CD singles and ‘Heathen’ 2-cd edition.
These versions offered here from the leaked torrent source in 2011, are from an early and unfinished version only available at the moment in this lossy source.
The 2014 compilation ‘Nothing Has Changed’ includes finished versions of Let Me Sleep Beside You, Your Turn To Drive (Toy) and Shadow Man.
Don't try to download from Mega using Chrome. It probably won't work. Try a different browser, like Firefox, for example.
ReplyDeleteWhat? MP3? Not lossless? Son, I am dissappoint.
ReplyDeleteIf you want to ask Mr. Bowie himself to release the flacs then we'll all be happy
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteThank you!

I want to say thank you even though these files are lossy. It's still enjoyable to hear. If I could find Mr. Bowie's number, I would most definitely call him.
ReplyDeleteI'd second that Wilder it would be great to hear the whole thing in best quality.
ReplyDeleteLooks unlikely now, Bowie's got plenty in the archives but doesn't seem to keen to release any of his older work, apart from a few tracks on his studio album Anniversary editions.
No downloads?
ReplyDeleteThis bootleg site is down? No downloads no fun.Sorry for you and us. Every thing is going down today. We are the last of a lost generation. They think they don`t want us and they think they don`t need us. Peace,brothers, peace! Or did I mean FIGHT?
