Before his breakthrough with Space Oddity in 1969, Bowie played a blues-influenced, slightly psychedelic pop-rock style.
The tracks were produced by Shel Talmy, known for his work with the Kinks and the Who.
Talmy frequently collaborated with session guitarist Jimmy Page, who played as a member of the Manish Boys backing Bowie on these sessions.
Renowned pianist Nicky Hopkins, who worked with the Rolling Stones and the Beatles, also contributed.

Other songs include Cupid, Leave Her to Me, You Gotta Tell Her, Certain Woman, Today, I Live in Dreams, and I Do Believe I Love You.
Bowie originally used the name Davy Jones before changing it to David Bowie in 1966 to avoid confusion with the Monkees member.
Although he later became more experimental, Bowie did not dismiss his early work.
