BOWIE RARITY FOR RELEASETHE latest boxed set of music from the David Bowie vaults will feature an unreleased album that was later revised and released as his 1975 classic Young Americans.
The original version wascalled The Gouster — named after a style of baggy fashion worn by Chicago teens in the early 1960s — and has been described by Bowie producer Tony Visconti as “40 minutes of glorious funk”.
He added: “David had a
long infatuation with soul as did I. We wanted to make a killer soul album.”
Bowie was famous for hisZiggy Stardust take on glam rock, when in 1974 he headed to Philadelphia to pursue his love of the city’s soul scene.
All his Philadelphia recording sessions will be in the new collection, called David Bowie — Who Can I Be Now? (1974-1976) and out later this year. Bowie died of cancer in January, aged 69.David Bowie

END OF LINE
FOR VIDEO
THE last video cassette recorder is set to roll off the production line — spelling the end for the machine that was found in almost every home for almost two decades.
Funai, a Japanese tech company, the last-known producer of video recorders, is switching off the assembly line at the end of this month.
It reported sales of just 750,000 last year, compared with 15 million at its peak about 15 years ago. Funai Electric began production of VCRs in 1983.

FOUR years after Aussiedoctors gave Kylie a chanceto stand on her own two feet,the always smiling girl hasreturned to Australia andamazed all at how far shehas come.
During a remarkable 2012operation, Melbourne sur-geons removed the de-formed upper section ofKylie’s left leg before turn-ing the lower section of herleg backwards and re-attaching it to her hip, sothat her foot faced back-wards and her ankle jointcould act as a knee.
Returning to Mel-bourne so doctors atChildren First Foundationcould check her progress,the now 13-year-old is tak-ing all before her andworking to become a lead-er of her people on a tinyVanuatu island.
“I came back to fix myleg. They just needed tochange my foot, because Ihad worn it out … becauseI didn’t wear shoes,” Kyliejoked.
“I love to run and ride abike.”
When Kylie returnedhome to live in her unpow-ered jungle village it wasfeared the primitive condi-tions and lack of any medical
support would underminethe efforts undertaken to giveher a life-changing new leg.
But, when she returned inMay it was not only realisedKylie would not need moresurgery, but that she was alsoexcelling at school and hop-ing to become a teacher to
share her gifts with therest of her village.
Physiotherapists havemade the most of havingKylie in Australia to teachher how to better run,jump, climb, in her ruggedhomeland without havingto remove her leg, thoughshe is expected to have toreturn in two years forfurther surgery.
