“All right, You want the young American”
This week we’re focusing on The Gouster and Young Americans from the upcoming David Bowie – Who Can I Be Now? (1974 – 1976) box set.
We’ve lumped them together because, in a nutshell, The Gouster is the previously unreleased album (a kind of Young Americans v1), on its way to being the final version of Young Americans, which was actually released in March 1975.
To kick us off, and in an attempt to try and make things less confusing, we’ve posted the tracklisting for each album below…
