Unheard David Bowie track from 1970 emerges online
An unheard demo from the late David Bowie, which dates back to his first ever recording session in the USA back in 1970, has arrived online.
It's called "To Be Love", and has been uploaded by Ron de Strulle, a sound engineer who's discussed working Bowie in a new interview with The Huffington Post.
“My first impression of David was that he was warm, open, friendly, and not looking for star treatment like most of the other artists who came to RR Studios. He was interested in the production process and excited about anything creative,” says de Strulle. “He was blown away by the studio and very interested in how to get each sound. He loved John Lennon’s vocal effects and George Martin’s way of working with bands of sounds with different frequencies... he couldn’t get over the way we could produce loop delays and reverberation plays. David could pick up an instrument and play anything. He would say ‘I never played this instrument before,’ and then he would cut loose and play. Pure genius.”
Bowie's final studio LP Blackstar was released on 8 January, his 69th Birthday. He died two days later, but sources have claimed a "long list" of posthumous releases was prepared before his death.
