The first audio recording of David Bowie, which was recorded when the future rock star was 16 years old, will soon be auctioned, the British auction house Omega announced today.
The recording will be auctioned on September 11 and is estimated to sell for £10.000 (€11.200).
The song "I Never Dreamed" was recorded in the studio in 1963 by the group "Conrads" (Conrads), who asked Bowie, who was then using his real name David Jones, to sing the song.
The piece is a classic rock song like the songs of the "Beatles" at the time, but it was not a success.
Bowie left the band shortly after that failure while recording "Space Oddity" six years later in 1969. It is the first success of the singer, who was then inspired by the movie "A Space Odyssey 2001." cult director Stanley Kubrick. The song is about the unfortunate astronaut Major Tom.
The musician, one of the most influential artists of the last 50 years, died of liver cancer in 2016 at the age of 70, two days after the release of the album "Black Star", which was released on his birthday, January 8.
