Last year, some of the first known recordings by David Bowie were discovered.  

 

And now - three rareDavid Bowie demos from the late 1960s will be auctioned on May 21 in England.

 

The tracks - "Funny Smile," "Bunny Thing" and "Pussy Cat," as well as "Did You Ever Have a Dream," which appeared on the 1981 compilation Another Face - will be auctioned under the title "David Bowie 1967 Rejected Demos" according to auction house Omega Auctions.
