Overview
- Parlophone announced on Wednesday that it will release David Bowie: The Shel Talmy Recordings on Sept. 18 and has opened preorders while issuing a preview track titled “I Want Your Love.”
- The compilation collects sessions Bowie made in 1965 with producer Shel Talmy when he recorded as Davie Jones, including work with his early bands Davie Jones & The Lower Third and The Manish Boys.
- CD and digital editions are reported to include ten previously unreleased recordings, while vinyl editions contain fewer unheard tracks, and some outlets list the set as 21 tracks while others list 22.
- Session credits on the collection confirm contributions from notable London session players such as guitarist Jimmy Page and pianist Nicky Hopkins and engineering by a young Glyn Johns.
- New liner notes by music historian Alec Palao position the release as a snapshot of mid‑1960s London musical life, and Parlophone will offer limited physical variants, including special-cover vinyl pressings.
