David Bowie's first ever demo as a 16-year-old has been discovered

To be honest, "I Never Dreamed" Bowie's first ever demo would turn up in a bread basket, but now the demo is set out to fetch close to £10,000 on auction.

Rediscovered by David Hadfield, the former Konrads drummer and manager, the "I Never Dreamed" demo was found in his grandfather's bread basket when he decided to move home.

Back then Bowie wasn't even Bowie, he still had his birth name of David Jones, which he later changed to avoid confusion with The Monkees' Davy Jones.

Speaking about the demo to The Guardian, Hadfield explained, “We had decided that we would do a couple of guitar instrumentals and one original song. I chose "I Never Dreamed" as it was the strongest, the other two were a bit weak. I also decided that David was the best person to sing it and give the right interpretation. So this became the very first recording of David Jones singing 55 years ago."

"There is no other recording of the demo featuring David as lead in existence. Decca initially turned us down, but when they eventually gave us an audition later that year, vocalist Roger Ferris was the lead voice and David sang backing harmonies.”

Omega Auctions will host the selling of Bowie's first vocal demo in Newton-le-Willows on Merseyside, in September.
