It is like a very private vision into a world, David's creation, that has gone so long ago. His voice is so iconic and familiar that it can only be him. Absolutely wonderful, thank you!
I sincerely wish that whomever purchased this from ebay however many years ago would somehow make the entire thing available to us all - these are just too wonderful and too wonderfully short!
Christ, why weren't the full versions of these included on "The Gouster" in the "Who Can I Be Now?" Boxed set I've just shelled out for. You know what?; these snippets sound so good, I don't even care about having to buy them separately as long as they are eventually released......... And soon!
Beefheart1 blimey mate I wish I had a 100 quid to spare! all I want for Xmas is the gouster why can't they release it separately? How much money does the CEO of David Bowie is dead Inc think the average fan has to spare?
Part of the chorus of Shilling the Rubes has also surfaced. These songs were definitely recorded in their entirety, we could only hope Bowie would release them officially. How about a limited edition record store day release?
The original multi-track master tape had been stolen years ago and posted for sale on ebay. An investigation occurred, the tape was tracked down, seized, and was handed back to Bowie or his management. So, the one to ask about releasing these in their entirety is Bowie himself. Perhaps for future addendums to "Nothing Has Changed"?
THIS is what we want ! Not endless re-issues of albums everyone already has !! Re-issue the Ryko ones if you wanna or ADD more track on at least ONE version ? The 'only' way to get the 'Single Edits' officially from Station To Station is on that super-expensive 'box-set' ??
The DB camp recovered this tape AFTER the S2S boxset came out. Still point taken about the lack of bonus stuff, assuming there's much kicking around. Apparently he put together some posthumous collections -- so maybe this Gouster tape made the cut. I just hope they're not Best-Of's with some remixes and a few new tracks to shill the rubes.
ah yes. it will be a bonus disc to the mid 70's follow up to FIVE YEARS, which covers the post-glam albums. for more info go to davidbowie.com. thanks for the heads up.
Like it! I knew 'After today' already, and that's great-and so of course is 'Young Americans', but I never knew 'Shilling the rubes' and 'I am a laser' both of which sound really interesting.
Thanks for posting. Somewhere around 1999, Eddie Kramer auctioned some multi track tapes from his work on David Live. this was on Ebay. As I understand it, they were sound check tapes and nothing he did showed up on David Live. I think the final selling price was around $1,000. Anyway, would be interested in hearing some of those.
So good to hear him experimenting with all this stuff for Young Americans. i love the comments too! "Then I can sack you!" Completely off his head off course! More please!
the ghouster track seems to harken the explicit self referencing of the 'thin white duke' set to rolling piano line that has a the feel of tvc15. The proto young americans is fun, and the vocals are exploratory and yet awesome
The second is called 'I am a Laser.' It was written by Bowie for the soul group he was putting together at that time called the Astronettes, or something of that sort, it was meant as a vehicle for his then-girlfriend and backing singer Ava Cherry. I believe you can now find this track on CZcams if you search it. It was later rearranged/rewritten by Bowie and recorded as 'Scream Like a Baby' on Scary Monsters in '80.
Wow! This is something I haven't heard before!! Thanks for the great music, David and thanks for posting La Galette Infernale!! I bet that's Bowie on sax, too!!! WHOA!! Listen to the vocal changes...ooohhhhh!
I Am A Laser by Ava Cherry is exactly the track you are looking for. It would have been for the Astronettes album. czcams.com/video/gDidSNQyB24/video.htmlfeature=shared
I've said exactly the same thing on another channel! "If I sent a letter to IMAN, NEW YORK, AMERICA... would it actually be delivered to her?!! 🤔" Am desperate to have these Songs it's almost become an obsession trying to find them and at least gather them together on my Playlist... 🙄 Intuition is telling me that perhaps maybe on a definitive" Anniversary" of David just "going on ahead a little while" as it feels so much more comforting to think of it like that, to myself anyway 🙃 yeah heart still busted but so much worse for his Wife, Family and Friends... That they shall finally be set free (just like that Bluebird) for us to be able to buy at a reasonable price and cherish always 🤗
the 'music labels' release old stuff to get 'fans' to but them again and again - its money in their pocket. . . if you don't know this never get involved with the 'music' industries!!
Assuming I am correct, the very first track is a "long lost" track called 'Shilling the Rubes' that was demoed during the early YA sessions during the break in the Diamond Dogs tour in August '74. As far as I know this section is the only portion of the track yet released.
It’s partly because of Bowie really wanting to get John Lennon on his album. They met and got on well so Bowie scheduled an extra recording session with Lennon, after the rest of Young Americans had already been recorded, and that’s how Fame and Across The Universe came about and they had to be fitted on to the album. Such a shame that Who Can I Be Now? had to be left of for them, that’s a superb track.
+Baofeng Manual Eat shit. If you can't contribute then shut up yourself. Who are you to tell people to not ask questions in hope of expanding ones' knowledge base. Are you a preacher or a politician that you don't like people to find out information?
+Baofeng Manual That would explain your lack of intelligence, since you post assumptions. You are a low life and I am done with you. Go learn how to behave like a human.
1) There never was an "entire Gouster album" - it was just an early working title for the Young Americans sessions. 2) What the record company is cynically describing as the "lost Gouster album" is really just some alternate mixes of Young Americans tracks put in a different order. 3) None of the demos heard in this CZcams clip are contained in the new box set. #recordcompanybullshit
That's not entirely accurate; it is a cash grab, but "The Gouster" was finished and mixed by Tony Visconti in '74, Bowie decided to shelve it after he recorded "Fame" with Lennon and it morphed into "Young Americans". These tracks were never intended for the final album, and Visconti revealed a picture with the complete track listing as it is being released now.
If only many of these late '74-'75 fragments were developed furthur, then 'Americans' would've been a superior release... why 'It's Gonna Be Me' & 'Who Can I Be Now' were omitted is a crime... Why wasn't 'After Today' included on last year's box set??? Where's 'It's Gonna Be Me' w/strings???
According to your definition I may not be a "serious bowie collector" but I'm a life-long fan and I'VE never heard this. Be happy these gems are available for us to enjoy and quit acting like they're shiny bits of plastic for your crow's nest.
What... what the HECK is with that picture? Was Bowie trying to do an EMF experiment to determine whether God was trying to tell him to stop doing so much cocaine?
Fernando Graça he was abit everything at one time or another. In the later days especially during heathen period he wasn't religious in the traditional sense
I have dabbled. And when you're on coke, you have more ideas. It can make you waffle on with depth about things you didn't even think you knew. I mean, there's a reason many students study on cocaine
It's "I am a laser" that was eventually recorded and released by the Bowie endorsed Astronettes - featuring Bowie's backing singer and then girlfriend Ava Cherry. It was then re-imagined by Bowie as "Scream Like A Baby" on 1980's Scary Monsters album.

holy crap im obsessed with these
This guy could never sing a wrong note. "period" .
I admit I was disappointed when the first song ended lol
Jesus h Christ this is amazing....all I want are full versions of these friggin' songs.
Of course it’s amazing It’s David Bowie❣️
Just fucking amazing
I have loved Bowie since the late 60s, but never heard this one - thank you so much~~~
Christ, why weren't the full versions of these included on "The Gouster" in the "Who Can I Be Now?" Boxed set I've just shelled out for. You know what?; these snippets sound so good, I don't even care about having to buy them separately as long as they are eventually released......... And soon!
Beefheart1 blimey mate I wish I had a 100 quid to spare! all I want for Xmas is the gouster
why can't they release it separately? How much money does the CEO of David Bowie is
dead Inc think the average fan has to spare?
Matthew Bluhm l
Now WHY on Earth would they do that ?
When they can get everyone to buy the same stuff all over again ??
Gosh,, I just love finding stuff he did..!!! :)
david has to release these sessions NOW
Part of the chorus of Shilling the Rubes has also surfaced. These songs were definitely recorded in their entirety, we could only hope Bowie would release them officially. How about a limited edition record store day release?
Wow. This is amazing.
See the laugh in the background just before the second track, it sounds exactly like the intro to Andy Warhol
2:27 sounds like an early run through of "TVC15".
Definately!
randomviewer2007 do you know the name of the song at 2:27?
haha, I read that at exactly the same time it came in
.. spot on.
And then he gave I am a Laser to Ava Cherry (i am a laser is also a proto Scream like a baby)
Oh o o o oh... 😊

An investigation occurred, the tape was tracked down, seized, and was handed back to Bowie or his management. So, the one to ask about releasing these in their entirety is Bowie himself. Perhaps for future addendums to "Nothing Has Changed"?
Correct - this was a sampler of a few tracks posted by the seller to confirm authenticity
He never like his stuff being bootlegged ❣️ I would spend happy days looking for them…in Stockport in the late 70s🙃😊
THIS is what we want !
Not endless re-issues of albums everyone already has !!
Re-issue the Ryko ones if you wanna or ADD more track on at least ONE version ?
The 'only' way to get the 'Single Edits' officially from Station To Station is on that super-expensive 'box-set' ??

But it hasn't this songs :(
@Jim, what are your top 5 favorite Bowie albums? Mine are:
1. Aladdin Sane
2. Lodger
3. Heathen
4. Hours
5. S2S
Like it! I knew 'After today' already, and that's great-and so of course is 'Young Americans', but I never knew 'Shilling the rubes' and 'I am a laser' both of which sound really interesting.
+Ian Stone 'I am a Laser' was later reworked into 'Scream Like a Baby' for Scary Monsters :)
You can also listen to Ava Cherry's version of Laser.

Bloody hell, this is amazing. Throws new light on what he was doing at this period (which I didn't quite get then!).
Excellent ... hope my YT Bowie songs makes him smile from far far away.
Oh how I wish they'd open up the Bowie vaults and give us the full versions!
So good to hear him experimenting with all this stuff for Young Americans. i love the comments too! "Then I can sack you!" Completely off his head off course! More please!
RELEASE THESE SONGS ALREADY PLEASE!!

this just makes me sad.
He died too soon.
Stephanie Borns Oh bring up him dying, way to go....
Mike Girard How would you know you f***** idiot. Yeah, there’s a lot of great songwriters tearing it up right now.
Really AMAZING !!! Never listen this material before ! X

Sylvie Guerin What?
Nice. Excellent quality.
Marvellous!
Oh what a tease very interesting....thanks

Check out scream like a baby
@@Lennonlover06 I have and it sounds nothing alike
@@cinnamonsinner4619 um its clearly the same song with a lyric rewrite. Bowie gf of the era does a studio version of I am a laser on yt
I Am A Laser by Ava Cherry is exactly the track you are looking for. It would have been for the Astronettes album.

i love bowie 74-75
1:40 is going to be my theme when I catch my Gouster.
Почему он не выпустил эти композиции?
Они прекрасны!!!
We all need to get together and express our request for these to be released
Hell I’d even try and contact Iman.
I've said exactly the same thing on another channel!
"If I sent a letter to IMAN, NEW YORK, AMERICA... would it actually be delivered to her?!! 🤔"
Am desperate to have these Songs it's almost become an obsession trying to find them and at least gather them together on my Playlist... 🙄
Intuition is telling me that perhaps maybe on a definitive" Anniversary" of David just "going on ahead a little while" as it feels so much more comforting to think of it like that, to myself anyway 🙃 yeah heart still busted but so much worse for his Wife, Family and Friends...

Never heard this b4
of course there are full versions the pepole at parlaphone will put them out soon as an expensive box set
good
My "Deep in the bender" jam,
This I am a Laser is pretty awesome. Why didn't this make the album?
I think it became scream like a baby
It’s partly because of Bowie really wanting to get John Lennon on his album. They met and got on well so Bowie scheduled an extra recording session with Lennon, after the rest of Young Americans had already been recorded, and that’s how Fame and Across The Universe came about and they had to be fitted on to the album.

Oh where are they?! I need full versions damn it!
Wow, thank you!
p.s. Do you have any more? ;)
How does one acquire something like this? Seriously, I would like to know...

So im assuming the full versions of the songs don't exist outside of the record label's possession, right?
not true.... in a few months this album is slated to be released along with remastered versions of many other rarities
+Jayron's Studio these songs aren't on there
They just released "The Gouster"...... but left these songs off. Go figure. :(
Sigma Sound reel tape 13th Aug.1974.
Great.. Do you have any more ??
Can someone please name all the songs? Please and if you can name what they were called afterwards ( if they did realse it)
And finally we get to hear the entire Gouster album, info released:

Unfortunately these tracks will not be in the box set!

I want to hear the full version of Shilling The Rubes but this is as much as has been released.
There's the second verse on CZcams and a fan vid too
Man, Young Americans seems odd without sax.
extended edit of Shilling The Rubes : czcams.com/video/o5UjOdXjnkM/video.html
Zeps prob, but Bowies during the Ziggy days musta been pretty crazy
Does someone know the name of the song at 3:45 ? It's sounds just amazing !!
After Today
Ok thanks!
(*it sounds, sorry for that big mistake 0.0)
There is a full version uploaded to youtube
If only many of these late '74-'75 fragments were developed furthur, then 'Americans' would've been a superior release... why 'It's Gonna Be Me' & 'Who Can I Be Now' were omitted is a crime... Why wasn't 'After Today' included on last year's box set??? Where's 'It's Gonna Be Me' w/strings???

i cant do more than laugh at you comment
Too bad we can't say the same.

That stick up your arse must be painful.
Right.
What... what the HECK is with that picture? Was Bowie trying to do an EMF experiment to determine whether God was trying to tell him to stop doing so much cocaine?
It says "my crucifix" on the bottom lol. Was he religious in this time period? I wonder.
Nope.. always searching and grabbing this and that from all over! My understanding is that he first adopted the crucifix for protection from "evil".
Rebecca B I read the same thing. He always wore a cross from his early days
yes he was a bit religious, he even wrote Word on a Wing...
Fernando Graça he was abit everything at one time or another. In the later days especially during heathen period he wasn't religious in the traditional sense
hello all , (thanks to the poster) i'm a old coke head ,but can anyone explain the meaning off the picture please . amazing singing David love Ya

@@MrMarkybabe simply, it's a stimulant.
Man, that one tune is so catchy at the 2:18 mark what a waste it ever was used as is.
wtf happened to the first 2 songs... they definitely sound worthy of development..ive heard the Velvet Goldmine and of course Young Americans
Is the gouster full song online?
FUCKIN BOWIE ...YEAH!.. OK , what camp was the best to be a part of in the 70s?....Led Zeps?, Stones? or Mr Bowies??.. I think most will say LZ...

What is the song at 1:55?
It's "I am a laser" that was eventually recorded and released by the Bowie endorsed Astronettes - featuring Bowie's backing singer and then girlfriend Ava Cherry. It was then re-imagined by Bowie as "Scream Like A Baby" on 1980's Scary Monsters album.
If there's a full version of the 1974 recording we'd all love to hear it.
