David Bowie recorded a bunch of songs with The Lower Third in the mid-'60s under his birth name, Davy Jones, and now, an unheard record of theirs is expected to go for over $15,000 (£12,000) at auction.
The song in particular is "I Want Your Love" from 1965, which is described as a "full-on, the Who-style assault with slashing guitars and David Bowie’s distinctive vocals."
The auction will be happening this Thursday at Wessex Auction Rooms in Chippenham, Wiltshire, England. A spokesman for the auction said, ‘‘This previously unreleased and unheard David Bowie recording has come to light from an amazing archive haul, and is by far the best of the bunch. The seller purchased the physical music archive of one of the world’s biggest publishing companies and therefore unearthed a raft of amazing demos and unheard tracks from huge artists. It takes months of work going through databases to get the info but we really have discovered the cream of the crop.”
"I Do Believe I Love You," an unreleased Bowie demo from the same timeframe, which was auctioned off last year was only expected to sell for just over $6,500 (£5,000) but sold for over $23,000 (£18,000).
