David Bowie - Alternate Candidate (Demo) [2004 Remastered Version]

By the end of the 1980s, the rights to Bowie's pre-1983 catalogue reverted to Bowie and his former management company. Rykodisc had approached Bowie in 1988 to re-release albums on CD and Bowie agreed, and thus the Rykodisc remasters were released onto the world throughout 1990 to 1992. These included new remasters for every album from his first self-titled to Scary Monsters and also included two compilation albums. However, the Rykodisc remasters are most well known for the inclusion of bonus tracks that Bowie choose himself. Some of these bonus tracks are just your regular run-of-the-mill B-side or a non-album single - but the real neat and gritty lay in the unreleased tracks that haven't been released since! I sought after some of these deep cuts and decided to upload them myself as uploads of these tracks were from 10 years ago at this point and most of these tracks haven't seen a reissue since! This is NOT a demo for the "Candidate" found on the final album, this is a completely different track that only shares a couple lines and its title along with it. Bowie recorded a track with the same title, It was recorded during the first several days of January 1974 and appears both as a Rykodisc bonus track but also a bonus track on the 30th Anniversary edition of "Diamond Dogs" which is where I got this remaster from.
