At the point were Harry Maslin took over, some extra recording of instruments and backing vocals were also made to some of the Sigma tracks later in January, with Maslin over-seeing production. In September a reel of tape was discovered for sale in a street market in Philadelphia. However, its emergence on this tape now confirms that it is indeed a recorded song in its own right.

In total there are 25 minutes worth of recording on the tape and according to the hand-written notes that came with the tape, there is reference to a 2nd reel. Tony Visconti was contacted within days of the discovery of the tape. But then again it could be a back up tape. However, the seller removed the item, but not before these 4 short samples of some of the tracks were circulated:.

Only time will tell if the full versions of these tracks become available. It was said that a second reel from the same session with three additional songs and never-heard-before takes was to be sold at a later date. The assortment of tapes helps tell the story of Philly music from just before the founding of the studio in to , when Sigma switched from using analog tapes to digital recording.

Sigma was hot. Of course, the album is far from unknown. But the records from the smash hit are less prominent. The whereabouts of reels 1, 2, 3 and any possible recordings after reel 4 were unknown when Seay first started cataloging the collection.

Additional insight into the sessions became clearer once Seay received copies of reels 1 and 2 — on behalf of Bowie himself. Several years ago, Bowie discovered the tapes on ebay and arranged for the sender to give them to him. But first they were sent to Seay to be digitized, since he had previously sent Bowie the digital copies of the fourth reel. Those tapes include other versions of songs heard on reel 4 and the secret recording, but there are also some surprises.

Even though Bowie recorded in the Philly studio, he brought in New York studio sessions players and his producer, instead of using the Sigma Sound engineers and musicians. Who knows just what other treasures are hiding in the archives? Nothing else matters. She laughs, because now other things do matter. But the announcement of an impending Bowie concert still holds the power to tear her in two.

She remembers an August night in when Bowie invited her to a party! The night David Bowie held her hand! And she wonders if this year she will finally meet him as an adult, as an equal, as a year-old mom. Can I have your autograph?

Nearly 30 years later, Marla Kanevsky is still a fan. Not an ordinary fan—a super fan. Oh, but she is so much more. For one night they were his confidantes, his buds—underage kids for whom he bought wine and champagne! And fresh corned beef sandwiches! Sandwiches they were too nervous to eat! Camping out for tickets seems like no big deal these days, but the Sigma Kids raised it to unparalleled heights. They spent two weeks straight sleeping in the streets so they could do things like watch Bowie walk from the Barclay on Rittenhouse Square to his limo.

Over time the Kids got friendly with the studio staff and the Bowie entourage, especially guitarist Carlos Alomar. Sometimes Bowie would chat with them. He eventually learned their names: Marla, Patti, Leslie, Purple—about a dozen in all. No one remembers who made the announcement that Bowie had decided to throw a party for them when the sessions wrapped. What they do remember is that they were led into the studio late at night, their hearts thudding in their chests.

Dagmar, a one-named rock photographer, documented the party. You could see it was a very deep experience for her. When he let go, she held hands with her friends. It seemed like what I should say. For Bowie the night met two objectives: He got to reward some devoted fans, and he had a test audience for his new sonic experiment. The artist formerly known as Ziggy Stardust, the bisexual space alien rock star, had completed his transformation to white soul singer.

These kids were his first listeners. At the party, he sat down in the back of the studio and bit his nails. No one spoke while the album played. A big, brassy blond, she changes from her work clothes into a black dress, lets her hair down and stands resplendent in bawdy maiden chic. While the Kids have interacted with Bowie only on rare occasions since , most of them hurried, Alomar has become a friend.

Before everyone else arrives, Brett and Leslie Radowill, both 46, look at pictures of Bowie going in and out of the studio in a variety of funky berets and glasses, flared trousers and shirts that billow around his skeletal frame. But they remember little in the way of specifics. Not long afterward, Marla Kanevsky arrives with her emotions in tow. A pretty woman in the midst of the Weight Watchers program, she has shed about 30 pounds.

Still she hides her face behind big dollops of brown hair and keeps her sunglasses on indoors. At the beginning of the tour there had been two backing singers, whereas the Philly Dogs shows boasted six, including Luther Vandross. Unfortunately the overall quality of this video is not great. But thankfully the audio is a pretty decent recording.

Listen to the alternative Gouster version. Once we were lovers, can they understand? Can you hear me? Can you feel me inside? Show your love, love Take it in right take it in right Take it in right take it in right. Well, can you hear me? Right to your heart Can you hear me? Can you feel me?

Can you? Wuhh, right down, right down Right to your heart Can you take it? Feel me? Take it in right Right to your heart. Can You Hear Me. Ava Cherry and David Bowie.
