The Shel Talmy Recordings

David Bowie

Black Vinyl edition

The Shel Talmy Recordings is a new collection that brings together the most complete collection to date of the tracks that a young David Bowie (then Davie Jones) recorded with legendary 60s producer Shel Talmy in 1965.

 

The release includes ten previously unreleased recordings on CD and six on LP, as well as appearances from legendary guitarist Jimmy Page (The Yardbirds and Led Zeppelin) and acclaimed pianist Nicky Hopkins, who played with, among others, The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, The Who, and Jeff Beck.

 

The collection features previously unreleased compositions, alternative versions, and tracks such as "You've Got A Habit Of Leaving" and "Baby Loves That Way", which originally came out as singles on Parlophone. Bowie later revisited both songs and re-recorded them with his Glastonbury band for the album TOY, which was first released in 2021.
