David Bowie will always be eternal and immortal. After fighting for months against cancer and knowing his possible death, the artist prepared a number of posthumous releases for next year, including the publication of a box set called "Who Can I Be Now (1974-1976)", the which includes the lost album "the Gouster".
The unreleased album was recorded in step "plastic soul" or also known as "American period" of Bowie, which fused elements of funk, R & B and soul. On the album you can hear a reversal of "John, I'm Only Dancing" and songs like "Young Americans," "Somebody Up There Likes Me" and "Can You Hear Me?".
All material is gathered in a deluxe edition containing 13 vinyl records of all existing recordings on the American period of the artist, which highlight the albums "Diamond Dogs," "Young Americans" and "Station to Station". All discs show new mastering, and includes live concerts and "David Live" and a show at Nassau Coliseum, 1974, in addition to the collection of singles and unreleased b faces as "RE: CALL 2".
However, it is never heard on the album "The Gouster" recorded at Sigma Sound, Philadelphia in 1974 and produced by Tony Visconti. These issues served as the basis for what was his ninth album "Young Americans".
"The Gouster" is very close to disco rhythms and soul, showing the influences and artistic skills that Bowie was during those years.
