- David Bowie - Can't Help Thinking About Me 1st Press - Poor Condition.
On offer in this auction is the extremely rare David Bowie single " Can't Help Thinking About Me" This is a complete one off but for the wrong reason as at some stage it has suffered heat damage and is badly warped to the point that it is unplayable.That's not to say that with the right equipment it could be flattened and at least playable.We are selling this as an art piece as it would look good framed up and hung on a wall.If you don't have this extremely rare single in your collection then at least you can now as a filler albeit unplayable in its present condition.It's better than not owning it at all and you never know in the hands of the right person you may be able to rectify it.This is a no reserve 99p auction. Grab yourself a bit of Bowie history.
Some additional info;
"Can't Help Thinking About Me" is a song written by David Bowie in 1965 and released as a single under the name David Bowie with The Lower Third. This was the first single released after he changed his name from David (also Davie) Jones to David Bowie.
It was the first David Bowie record to be released in the US as well as the first time the name "Bowie" appeared under the songwriters credit.
The song was recorded within 15 days of the 18-year-old Bowie signing to the Pye Records label as "David Bowie with the Lower Third" on 25 November 1965 through successful Producer and songwriter Tony Hatch. Hatch signed Bowie to the label based on two demos (this song and "Now You've Met The London Boys", as it was originally titled) proffered by Bowie's (then) manager Ralph Horton. The single and B-side were both recorded in the basement of Pye's offices in Great Cumberland Place (near Marble Arch, Central London) on 10 December 1965. Hatch also played piano on the single and provided backing vocals along with the rest of the group.
