The new music of David Bowie discovery – Filthy Lucre

The first recording of David Bowie's song is now available at auction. After more than 55 years, one of David Bowie's former clbadmates has come forward to share one of his first projects with the Konrads. David Hadfield, drummer of the Konrads, shared the recording for a forthcoming auction. Hadfield told the Rolling Stone that he had first discovered the recording over twenty years ago by combing old boxes in his home's storage space. . While combing through his business, he came across a bread basket from his father who caught his eye. Inside the basket, there was a series of dusty cbadettes, one of which bore the words "The Konrads" written along with the case. Hadfield fed the tape into an old tape recorder and an original David Jones composition, now known as David Bowie, came to life. The song is the oldest known original song by David Bowie, a 1962 single called "I Never Dreamed."

In a press release regarding the auction, Hadfield wrote "There is no other record putting David in existence." getting a contract, the group decided to push the singer Roger Ferris as a singer and put Bowie in reinforcement to sing harmonies. At the auction, there will be more than the registration. The recording itself is part of a larger collection of Bowie's early career memorabilia that includes a letter, photographs, promotional sketches, and more

Bowie is another great job David Bowie: I was there by Neil Cossar. The book itself was written in 2017 and details the many events in David Bowie's life. In addition to hundreds of stories and fan experiences, the book also includes contributions from musicians who have had the change to work with Bowie, including Mike Garson, Earl Slick and Peter Frampton. In total, the book covers its 600 shows in the UK and over 1000 shows from its twelve major world tours. In part of the book, former friend Alan Dodd already knew in June 1963 that Bowie was the obvious choice for a singer. In the words of Dodd, "he commanded the public instantly." Despite this, Decca refused to offer a contract to Bowie and the Conrads and they only had one more acetate recording left. . In the space of one year, the group separated and it was reported in 2016 that "no copy of the single survived."

Listening to the twelve-second clip of Bowie and his singers, we understand why the Decca records have disappeared. Despite extremely rough production, the song was certainly not a success, especially compared to pop-rock talent and UK artists at the time. What Decca did not realize was who they were pbading through. If only they could have watched the single to see the real talent that Bowie himself had exposed.
