A couple of Parlophone singles came out of it, to little fanfare, and the rest stayed on the shelf. These recordings sit well before his 1967 debut album, when he was still searching for a voice of his own and had not yet settled on the name Bowie.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe LP opens with \"You've Got a Habit of Leaving\", a restless R\u0026amp;B single that Bowie returned to decades later for the Toy project, and also features The Manish Boys' take on \"I Pity the Fool\". Six of the twelve tracks were previously unheard, among them \"I Want Your Love\" and \"Cupid\", which waited in the archive for six decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSession players such as Jimmy Page and Nicky Hopkins passed through these dates, giving the mod-era sound real bite.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor anyone tracing Bowie's story back to its first chapter, this is a fascinating portrait of an ambitious kid on the verge of reinventing himself.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57097759916337,"sku":"5026854442273","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/David_Bowie_-_The_Shel_Talmy_Recordings.jpg?v=1792931015","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/david-bowie-the-shel-talmy-recordings","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
