David Bowie – David Bowie Remastered Release

• 15th Dec 2009

On Jan 25th we'll see the 2 Disc Deluxe Version of David Bowie's Debut album “David Bowie.”

Bowie’s often overlooked album, was released by Deram in 1967. Along with Cat Stevens, Bowie was one of the label’s earliest signings and both performers – in the fullness of time – would prove very wise investments indeed. Disc One features both the original mono and stereo mixes while Disc Two includes such rarities as the non-album b-sides ‘The London Boys’ and ‘The Gospel According To Tony Day’, plus 12 unreleased tracks, including Bowie’s first ever BBC session, commercially unreleased until now. Produced by Bernie Andrews and recorded in December 1967; when it was originally made however, Bowie was reluctant to re-work the recordings from David Bowie (even though the album was less than 6 months old), preferring to showcase fresh material for his largest audience to-date. It was Bernie Andrews, a huge fan of the first album, who over lunch talked him into recording four of its songs, including Lindsay Kemp’s favourite ‘When I Live My Dream’.

The notes and chronology are by Kevin Cann whose book, Any Day Now: David Bowie The London Years 1947-1974, which will be published by Adelita in 2010.
