The album called "Toy" by the famous musician David Bowie, was released posthumously, 20 years after the songs were recorded.
Namely, Bowie had insurmountable conflicts with his former record company Virginia, which is why his album "Toy" from 2001 never saw the light of day, at least not in the form of a published album.
A pirated version with poor sound quality has been circulating among fans of the character and works of Bowie on the Internet since 2011, and now the album has received an official release, so it will be available on streaming platforms as of this week.
Some of the songs from this album were also used by the musician on the album "Heathen" from 2002 for B-sides of some singles or as songs that were part of compilations.
"Toy" was recorded in 2001, soon after Bowie's appearance at the Glastonbury Festival, which is remembered as a concert of exceptional historical significance, because he and the band, which then Mark Pays, Sterling Campbell i Earl Slick, were then at the height of their fame.
The day after that concert, Bowie entered the studio with his band. Together, they took songs recorded between 1964 and 1971, and Bowie wanted to release an album right away, in the spirit of performing at the aforementioned festival.
"'Toy' is a time capsule captured in an atmosphere of joy, fire and energy, with the sound of musicians happily playing together," explained Plati.
Meanwhile, the director Bret Morgen, concludes the film about David Bowie, which is based on a hundred hours of material and rare recordings of his performances, and it is speculated that the premiere can be expected at the Sundance Film Festival, at the end of January.
The festival, which takes place in Park City, falls exactly on the anniversary of Bowie's death - January 10.
