More than 20 years have passed since the renowned musician and composer of British origin and Rock icon David Bowie, began the recordings of the album that in addition to bringing unpublished topics, I would bring other versions of his first less popular songs.
However, this album that was called 'Toy' never came out. Bowie forged the idea of creating this album in 1999. At this time, the musician summoned his band, to be able to headline the renowned Glastonbury Festival of Contemporary Performing Arts.
When they were gathered, the intention of everything was to record the artists who were playing live those songs from the years 1964-1971. So the album was conceived in the city of Manhattan, New York in the year 2000.
According to The Guardian, for the release of this album, Bowie collaborated again with his former producer Tony Visconti, despite not having been working together since 1983.
Although his enthusiasm was great, the release of the album had to be postponed due to problems that the label had with the British record label Virgin EMI Records, which from the beginning felt refused to release the new material. Which is why Bowie stopped collaborating with that firm and proceeded to release his next hit 'Heathen' (2002) with the Colombia Records label and his own ISO label.
Unfortunately, in 2011, 'Toy' was leaked on the Internet just after an Australian citizen sold a copy of the album through the eBay page. Alarmingly enough, it was uploaded on different web portals from which it could be downloaded quite easily.
