It's 2026, September 18th.
2
00:00:06.726 --> 00:00:11.088
The recordings David Bowie did with Shel Tommy in London in 1965 are alive.
3
00:00:12.769 --> 00:00:13.570
They are everywhere.
4
00:00:14.290 --> 00:00:16.411
And I'm sure a lot of you Bowie fans have already heard them.
5
00:00:17.812 --> 00:00:20.293
And I'm thrilled that you have them.
6
00:00:20.793 --> 00:00:26.256
That you can put on those headsets, listen to it, put it on your LP player, listen to it.
7
00:00:27.277 --> 00:00:29.058
Put it on your CD player and listen to it.
8
00:00:30.997 --> 00:00:35.240
The whole idea was that one should have all of this out there.
9
00:00:38.301 --> 00:00:39.982
Nothing more David would have wanted.
10
00:00:41.343 --> 00:00:43.444
And there's nothing more Shel Tommy wanted.
11
00:00:46.706 --> 00:00:52.290
And when they came to my party in 1992 in Beverly Hills and Shel,
12
00:00:53.709 --> 00:00:55.510
reunited with Bowie at that time.
13
00:00:56.310 --> 00:01:05.354
Who knew at that time that one day Alex would find these recordings in Shell's vault and Shell would tell me about it and would go on a journey to bring them to you.
14
00:01:07.935 --> 00:01:11.477
But I have another idea because that's kind of like a conventional way they just came out.
15
00:01:12.998 --> 00:01:14.018
But I have another idea.
16
00:01:16.464 --> 00:01:18.985
which doesn't involve anybody because it's very simple.
17
00:01:19.205 --> 00:01:25.889
I'll get an LP and I'll travel all over the world and I'll come to your town where you think we can have a listening party.
18
00:01:27.557 --> 00:01:34.763
And bring all your instruments, bring your flute, bring your trumpet, bring your guitar, bring your saxophone player, and play along with one of the tracks.
19
00:01:35.084 --> 00:01:36.325
I think it would be a blast.
20
00:01:36.785 --> 00:01:46.714
And to give you an example of that, I'm going to leave you with my friend Gianni in Italy, who I said, Hey, Gianni, can you play I Do Believe and lay down some sax on it?
21
00:01:47.154 --> 00:01:47.554
And he did.
22
00:01:47.574 --> 00:01:49.276
So I'll let you hear it.
23
00:01:50.852 --> 00:02:01.661
And I'll, prior to that, leave you with these messages with AI voiceover reading them, what Shel Tommy said, only because I don't want to read them because I would break up.
24
00:02:02.121 --> 00:02:03.262
I literally would break up.
25
00:02:04.363 --> 00:02:04.924
So enjoy.
26
00:02:06.005 --> 00:02:11.249
FYI, I'm honoring my deal with you no matter what happens, wrote Shel Tommy.
27
00:02:11.950 --> 00:02:13.591
November 11th, 2022.
28
00:02:14.111 --> 00:02:18.155
Thanks for listening and want to confirm our relationship is intact and always will be.
29
00:02:19.715 --> 00:02:20.015
Thanks.
30
00:02:20.256 --> 00:02:20.576
Shell.
