DAVID BOWIE
The Lost Beeb Tapes [The Godfatherecords G.R. 375, 1CD]
Very good radio broadcast.
A nice complement to Bowie At The BBC which helps fill up some of the gaps.
This is what richardgm99 posted at collectorsmusicreviews.com:
The early recordings of Bowie at the BBC particularly hold great interest and document an artist still trying to find his way in the world with apparent giant leaps in style although if you really study them it’s more of a rapid evolution.
Most of the unofficial recordings have variable sound quality and generally attribute the wrong dates to the various sets Bowie performed up to the early ’70s… The official Bowie At The BBC release is by far the best available but is far from complete so this is where this new release from Godfather steps in as in contains many of the important tracks missing from the original release and all in excellent quality.
Bonus tracks feature three tracks wrongly attributed to ‘Arnold Corns’ with the exception of ‘Moonage Daydream’. Unfortunately more complete and better quality versions of these three bonus tracks are available elsewhere.
Thanks to Piras for sharing the tracks on the net.

It’s important to music fans that legendary performances such as these are not lost in the vaults … so respect to Godfather records ;o)

There are 2 great (ROIO) Bowie CDs of recordings made at the BBC. “God Knows I’m Good” which covers 67-71 and “Hazy Cosmic Jive” covering 71-72.
Have to say that there are some tracks on this release that don’t feature on the other two - so thank you very much!

Just curious, who’s singing lead on ‘Andy Warhol’ and ‘Song For Bob Dylan’ from the June 3,1971 set? Thanks.

Jason,
Andy Warhol is sung by Dana Gillespie while Song For Bob Dylan has lead vocals by George Underwood. For more info go here

@Jason M - as admin pointed out, George Underwood sings lead on “Song For Bob Dylan”. He is a childhood friend of David’s, and is the guy who created David’s distinctive “paralyzed pupil” eye during a fist fight when they were around 14 years old. George went on to do artwork for some early Bowie and early T.Rex albums and remained friends with David after David’s Ziggy success.

Thanks for the release.
The first track file is missing (Also tracks 2, 7, 8 from Aylesbury 1971). Any chance of getting them back online?
