I was watching the video again there and noticed this suggestion at the very end......never seen before and found, from 1997...

Sample track at link.Toy, which was recorded in 2001 and leaked online in 2011, will be released in a three-CD box set on 7 January.
"Toy is like a moment in time captured in an amber of joy, fire and energy," said Bowie's long-time collaborator in a statement.
The singer had hoped to record and release the album quickly, but his then record label Virgin was less enthusiastic.
With Toy shelved, the prolific musician instead focused on what would eventually become his 2002 album Heathen.
An unauthorised version of Toy surfaced online a decade later, giving fans a taste of what Bowie had hoped for the record.
The official version of Toy includes versions of such '60s tracks as I Dig Everything, The London Boys and You've Got A Habit Of Leaving.
An unexpected discovery....

ooOOOoooohhh...most definitely!!This should be good!
Says Cale, “There was this period around mid-late 70s when David and I would run into each other in NY. There was plenty of talk about getting some work done but of course we’d end up running the streets, sometimes until we couldn’t keep a thought in our heads, let alone actually get a song together! One night we managed to meet up for a benefit concert where I taught him a viola part so we could perform together. When I wrote ‘Night Crawling,’ it was a reflective moment of particular times. That kind of NYC that held art in its grip, strong enough to keep it safe and dangerous enough to keep it interesting.
Ditto.Yep.
I definitely want to see it soon.
Sounds brilliant. Going Friday.Went to see Moonage Daydream earlier. A collage of live clips/videos/alternate versions from various parts of his career from Ziggy onwards. Bowie's is the only voice apart from a few interviewers.
Gives some insight into his motives & methods. His sheer front & balls to adopt the ambiguous sexuality in the early 70s & go on mainstream US tv for an interview all glammed up. I’m assuming here that the US was probably even more homophobic than the UK. He talked about putting himself into situations he wasn’t comfortable with as a creative spur.
He needed change, again for creative spur & moved countries a few times as part of that.
Also covers pretty much the rest of his career plus films & art. It’s loud in the cinema - I took earplugs & could still hear it fine.
If you are or ever have been a fan you’ll love it.
