David Bowie's Toy, an album that was originally intended to be released in 2001, has leaked online.
A high-quality rip of the full 14-track record surfaced on bit torrent sites on Sunday, much to the delight of Bowie completists around the world.
The album ? a set featuring re-recorded and significantly revamped versions of some of Bowie's earliest and most obscure songs ? was shelved due to a dispute with Virgin, his label at the time. Though two tracks on Toy ? "Uncle Floyd" and "Afraid" ? were eventually reworked for his 2002 album Heathen and three others ? "Baby Loves That Way," "Shadow Man" and "You've Got A Habit of Leaving" ? were released as B-sides for that album's singles, the majority of the record has not been available until now.
