Thanks! I should have mentioned that some of the website can be found via archive.org. However, not all pages are complete and the ones that are visible aren't necessarily the most recent.

and the rest of the
''we've heard it''
guys in the video
say there's Luther Vandross singing a lead vocal Bowie song
on one of these tapes
over the 'wrong' music
maybe none of it will ever be set free
is it not ok to dream for 5 minutes
?

you got the tape 2 on the bootlegs (the complete Young Americans first takes, Shilling The Rubes...)
John I'm Only Dancing Again is missing but there is an audio snippet around.
So I think we miss some tracks from tape 1 & 3
That said, I had never expected I could hear one day the first take of Young Americans

and of course, now there is more with the discovery of these new reels.

I wonder how many takes there have been of "Across The Universe"; wish there could be some alternate takes or rehearsals with John Lennon sharing vocals or harmonies.

I think that during these sessions David Bowie's voice was changing - he is really going at through all these songs - and this sessions always fascinated me.
The Sweet Thing/Candidate theme revisited by Ava Cherry (and the B face acetate) was really really good.

This could have been a triple LP  :)

But like most of us here I don't expect a full box of rarities before several decades... unfortunately...

As incredible as it may seem, the most important tape was released on bootlegs.
I would like to know other takes of the song Lazer, if they exist with the estate.
The versions of Saint in the City would also be interesting to hear.
I believe that the recordings made with Lennon may also have something different or even the draft of some unknown song.
