David Bowie's Young Americans featured hits like "Fame" with John Lennon and sessions with Luther Vandross and Carlos Alomar. The album’s title evolved from working names like The Gouster, Dancin', and Fascination before landing on Young Americans.

YA will be my no.1 choice 🎶🌟

Somewhere between YA & The Gouster is the perfect version of this album.

He lays her down, he frowns
Gee, my life's a funny thing
Am I still too young? "

Today's vinyl (and only one for a few days as I'm away) is The Gouster, Tony Visconti's 2016 reimagining of an early version of Young Americans, with a few songs that didn't make that album and some alternate mixes. Much more of a slow-jam album than the released record.

🎵 It's Gonna Be Me

The first acquaintance was on the A Portrait In Flesh bootleg.
An incredibly soulful live version.
Then the studio version was released as a bonus on YA in 1991.
And by now, we know about The Gouster.
A gem.

David Bowie | Who Can I Be Now? | The Gouster | 1975

One of three songs dropped from Young Americans to make way for Fame (fair enough) and Across The Universe (BOOOO!!!!). Maybe a little too on the nose even for the chameleon of pop.

5 Surprising Facts About David Bowie’s 'Young Americans' - That Eric Alper
In the summer of 1974, David Bowie did the unthinkable: he killed off the diamond-studded theatricality of glam rock to become a “Gouster.” Exhausted by the massive sets of the ‘Diamond Dogs’ tour, Bowie rolled into Philadelphia’s Sigma Sound Studios—the holy ground of Philly Soul—to reinvent himself as an R&B crooner. He called the result […]

Midday Bowie break, playing The Gouster, the original version of what became Young Americans, the original really doubled down on disco, the released version tipped more towards blue-eyed soul.

Aww. I love the Gouster. I prefer it over the official release most of the time.

"Young Americans" (1975) - Replaces the mellow jams of "The Gouster" with some sick grooves like "Fascination". Works for me! "Fame", though, is just incoherent and jumbly. I guess the radio agrees with me, because it prefers to play the title track, which has only gotten more iconic over the years.

The Gouster es un disco que me suena a la música del final de Saturday night live durante 40 minutos. Es un poco mucho.

Another box-set extra: "The Gouster", a shelved album. Basically, it's just an early version of "Young Americans", with sliiightly different takes on its songs and some soon-to-be outtakes. Nothing essential, imo, but I appreciate how it's more relaxed and mellow than the "official" album.

Listening to The Gouster this week - although Young Americans has been my least listened album, something about this one really clicked when I heard it - maybe it was the release of the Soul Tour live album that for me, made sense of his mid 70s sound #davidbowie open.spotify.com/playlist/4QQ...
