david bowie - the gouster sessions (1974) RARE STUFF video free download

Ian Stone

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.

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

david has to release these sessions NOW

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"?

Philippe heuzé

Great.. Do you have any more ??

Alessandro Mello

Gabriel Parkers

Excellent! Excellent!

Steve Campbell Grant

Shilling The Rubes, I am a lazer. From the short lived "Gouster" invention of Bowiebefore he was THE THIN WHITE DUKE 

timinlex

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?

Can someone please name all the songs? Please and if you can name what they were called afterwards ( if they did realse it)

Tyler Henry

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!

Brandon Lashbrook

I don't get the picture... can someone help me understand what it is supposed to mean?

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 Youtube if you search it. It was later rearranged/rewritten by Bowie and recorded as 'Scream Like a Baby' on Scary Monsters in '80.

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.
