A posthumous collection titled The Shel Talmy Recordings curates 11 early David Bowie tracks from 1965 (then Davie Jones) found in producer Shel Talmy’s archive; six of these songs will be issued on vinyl for Record Store Day, with the rest available to buy and stream, offering a raw glimpse of Bowie's London-era experimentation before he became Ziggy Stardust.
Shel Talmy, the influential music producer known for his work with iconic bands like The Kinks and The Who, has died at 87.

His innovative production techniques left a lasting impact on the music industry, and he also worked with artists like David Bowie and Manfred Mann. Talmy's legacy is marked by his significant contributions to 1960s pop and rock music.
