David Bowie's first demo tape from 1963 discovered in old bread basket
The first-ever recording of David Bowie on lead vocals has been discovered — in a bread basket of all places. Long before the colorful alter egos of Aladdin Sane and Ziggy Stardust helped establish Bowie as one of the most innovative forces in modern pop music, a 16-year-old Bowie — who then went by the name David Jones and was an aspiring saxophonist — decided to do lead vocals for a band called The Konrads in 1963.
The resulting demo tape titled 'I Never Dreamed' is considered the first and only existing copy featuring Bowie on lead vocals and was thought to have been long-lost until now. The credits for the song name David Jones and Konrads lead guitarist Neville Wills. The tape was discovered by The Konrads drummer David Hadfield stashed in a bread basket when he was moving in the 1990s. Hadfield decided to keep it a secret until announcing on July 23 that it will be up for auction in September, The Guardian reported.
