Long before Ziggy, there was a teenager in sharp suits chasing a hit, and The Shel Talmy Recordings, presented here on CD, gathers that hungry early chapter of David Bowie's story.
In the mid-1960s, Bowie was still going by his birth surname and fronting a string of London mod bands. Shel Talmy, the American producer behind the early Kinks and The Who, took him into the studio, and the results were raw, punchy singles that went largely unnoticed at the time. This collection brings those sides together with demos and alternate versions, giving a clear look at an artist still searching for his voice.
"I Pity the Fool", cut with The Manish Boys, is a swaggering R&B cover with a tough, brassy bite, while its flip side "Take My Tip" shows the young songwriter already playing with clever, wordy lyrics. "You've Got a Habit of Leaving", recorded with the Lower Third, leans into crashing mod-rock feedback, and "Baby Loves That Way" hints at the melodic instincts that would later take over the world.
Alternate vocals and rough demos round things out, catching ideas half-formed and full of nerve.
It is a fascinating, unpolished portrait for Bowie devotees who want to hear exactly where the legend started.
