The penultimate release of David Bowie's Is It Any Wonder? EP of six unreleased and rare tracks is today unveiled.
As far as we are aware, no one has ever heard this Bowie track before, on record, or in live performance. If you know otherwise, please let us know as we are very keen to hear the story.
"Nuts" was jointly written by David, Reeves Gabrels and Mark Plati. It was recorded during the final Earthling sessions in November 1996, the same session during which "The Last Thing You Should Do" was written and recorded.
Both songs were being recorded as bonus tracks but then, at the last minute David swapped out "I Can’t Read" (released as track two from this streaming EP), with "The Last Thing You Should Do". However, "Nuts" has remained unreleased until today.
"Nuts" features Bowie on vocals, Reeves Gabrels on guitars & Mark Plati playing keyboards and programming. It was produced by David Bowie, co-produced by Reeves Gabrels and Mark Plati and was recorded and mixed by Mark Plati at Looking Glass Studios, NYC
The last track from the EP will be announced next week with a final extra surprise.
