Looking For A Friend (BBC - Stereo) - Instrumental

On the 3rd of June, 1971, Bowie and his friends recorded a BBC session for John Peel. One of those songs was Looking For A Friend, a song Bowie had made for the Arnold Corns. This is the instrumental track of the stereo version
Disclaimer:
The process of isolating the instrumental from a track is never perfect. I have tried my best to make it as close to the isolated instrumental track as possible with additional editing; however, without access to the original tracks, it is impossible. Despite the imperfections, I hope it is valuable enough to share.

May I ask you a question? Is there any Heroes and Low tracks that still haven't been heard?

[@azorbz9286]

There certainly exist alternative takes. The (presumably) guide vocal for Sound And Vision was used in the film Moonage Daydream, so I can't imagine that there are not more.
With regard to unheard songs, I don't know of any in particular. Low's '90s reissue had the song Some Are, which was one of Bowie's personal favourite unused tracks. A lot of Low in particular was based on the unused The Man Who Fell To Earth soundtrack that Bowie had made. I'd imagine that more of it was considered and developed into potential tracks for Low. "Heroes", I am less certain about.

@@azorbz9286 They keep trying to sell the older stuff but I sure like to know if the Low, Heroes, Scary Monsters, and Lodger alternate takes were available.

@@danielroberson5421 I'm not too confident that they plan to get up to the Berlin Era. I've heard that they only have plans up to (and including) Diamond Dogs. That is old information though. We know that they've thoroughly searched and documented the archives now, so more material may have been discovered, allowing for sets for later albums.

@@danielroberson5421 Waiting In The Sky was a pointless release, yes. The only positive I will say about it is that the sound quality is excellent. It's really just an advertisement for Rock 'n' Roll Star!, and doesn't really claim to be anything more.
