Anyone heard this "Bootleg" I am stunned that the quality is perfect. some wonderful takes of his music...

This man was brilliant at his music.

Here's a tracklisting. The songs that are repeated are just different versions/outtakes.

How many of these weren't on the album in one form or another?

no disrespect meant, because i know a lot of people like him, and i think he was pretty good, but...




... i'm continually amazed at how much they can milk a guy who died with only one album under his belt.

The guy could'a became a megastar if he released the Forget Her outtake from these session.
He claimed it was never released as it "sounded too much like Michael Bolton" but I think the real fear was becoming too big, too quick.

I hate to say it but I agree with you. Last Goodbye is an amazing song that blows me away still, but the rest of the album didn't really do it for me, and the fact that there's what, 4 posthumous releases from the guy, it's just odd. Then again, that same ratio could be said about Hendrix, I spose.

well just so u know, this one is a bootleg.. so the only milkin is due to the people who actually enjoy his music. plus these takes are really nice...

Where did u get this? I'll tell u where I got my Bowie 10/15/03 Rotterdam show in exchange.

No Last Goodbye in there - I think I already have the original acoustic demoed version tho.

otan said:

Nope, no last goodbye, but a damn fine version (s) of hallelua, and a lot of songs I didnt think he would sing...

and quality is top notch.
