New early David Bowie demo released from upcoming album, 'The Shel Talmy Recordings'

David Bowie 'The Shel Talmy Recordings' (Parlophone Records)

David Bowie fans are getting another preview of the upcoming album filled with early recordings the rocker made with ‘60s producer Shel Talmy.

Today (Demo),” the second track released from The Shel Talmy Recordings following “I Want Your Love,” is a previously unreleased demo recorded in 1965.

“Today (Demo)” is now available via digital outlets.

Talmy, best known for working with The Who and The Kinks, signed the then-Davie Jones and his band at the time, the Manish Boys, in December 1964. By the time they began recording, however, Bowie had formed a new band, Davie Jones & The Lower Third. Most of the recordings featured on the album were made with the latter band or are solo demos.

The Shel Talmy Recordings, dropping Sept. 18, includes 21 tracks. The CD and digital versions feature 10 previously unreleased recordings, while the vinyl features six. Guests on the album include a pre-Led Zeppelin Jimmy Page and future Rock & Roll Hall of Fame pianist Nicky Hopkins.

The Shel Talmy Recordings is available for preorder now. A limited-edition red vinyl version is available at DavidBowie.com.
