Noticed these song titles, which I do not recognise:

Angel Tension
Balled
Burn
Gypsy Tongue
La La Gypsy Tongue
On The Game
Who
Young
Young Man
Young Love


Angel Tension: Angel Angel Grubby Face?

Balled: misspelling of ballad? And might be rock n roll suicide (from its position in the lists near the end?)

Burn: Slow Burn? He went back to his early songs recording Toy and Heathen.

Gypsy Tongue: syllable cadence might be a song similar to Lady Stardust?

On The Game. Is this an early version of It's No Game, which of course was previously Tired Of My Life?

Who:  a Who cover? I Can't Explain?

Young Man : All The Young Dudes?



All my speculation. I suspect people here know exactly what these were!?

cheers

I know what you mean! I just picked this up the other day. Damaged box, £40. Damage wasn't even that bad, dented corner.

Young Love is likely Soul Love

nice one.  I should have googled that (doh!) I did not know Bowie covered it, or recorded it, or even thought of including it in either the Ziggy album or tour set. I wonder if it exists?

willb3d wrote:

I thought that, but it is also variously called just Young or Young Man which made me thing otherwise (All The Young Dudes?)

Interesting. Where did you read/hear this? Does it exist anywhere?


edit: I just found this. Not much clarity, but an opinion nonetheless

Of course, these songs exist as demos or alternate takes and may be released in some form many years from now.
No artist releases everything from their archives and the Ziggy box set still brings unique things.

You've stated this as a fact, where's the confirmation?

I was told this by someone who heard these things before the release
you have to understand that Balled is an embryonic version and Bowie did this his whole career recycling songs

now I'm even more intrigued.....can you tell us more?

Is it from this lyric:

Hey Jack I better shake it off.
Put her out of my head
Thinking I balled just another young girl last night
Oh brother! I left a woman in that morning bed


The lyric does "sound" stylistically similar to the slower tracks on Diamond Dogs (Sweet Thing, Rock n Roll With Me).Not the  music of course; so it could well be written well before YA.

very interesting.
