Bowie Demo From '71 Sold At Christie's

Bowie’s previously unheard demo recording of ‘Star’ was sold yesterday at Christie’s auction house in London. The recording reportedly fetched £1,527. The previously unheard ½ inch reel-to-reel studio 1971 demo recording, which is quite different in style and content to the familiar Ziggy Stardust album version, was given to singer Les Payne for him to cover.
