Since 2015, there have been a consistent release of David Bowie "Era" Boxsets with a new one on the horizon as this video is being uploaded. Each "Era" boxset features fresh remasters for the albums in the period of time it covers along with a few goodies too - the main one being "Re:Call". "Re:Call" is a compilation of singles that have been released during the 'era' covered and remasters both A-Sides and B-Sides too with even minor single edits getting a remaster too. Every boxset has its own "Re:Call" however the very first "Re:Call" is unavailable on Youtube so I've decided to re-upload a handful of the rarities from the collection in their 2015 remastered form!
"Arnold Corns" was practically Bowie's rough sketch for Ziggy Stardust. It was a small band Bowie formed that performed a couple of early versions of what would become tracks from Ziggy Stardust. In particular, they released early versions of "Moonage Daydream" and "Hang On To Yourself", both of which have vastly different lyrics to the classic tracks we know today. Unlike the version of Moonage Daydream, "Hang On To Yourself" lacks the polish and comes off as a folky rough demo of the track. The musical ideas and base for the track but without that hard rock and roll aspect, it loses a lot of its prowess. I particularly feel this when those slide guitars come in, oh lord. It's still an interesting listen for fans of a Ziggy and those wanting a more acoustic rendition of a Bowie classic.
