Actually these are recordings with Bowie's band The Lower Third done at R.G.Jones' OAK Studios in Morden, on 31st August1965 (not 1966 as stated on the cover). The composer credits should be taken with a pinch of salt, too.

A bootleg single of two unreleased Bowie tracks, "That's a Promise" and "Silly Boy Blue," purport to be 1966 performances with the Buzz. "That's a Promise" has more of a mod rock sound than either of the two singles on which the Buzz play, and "Silly Boy Blue" is an interesting, superior version of a song that Bowie would re-record for his debut LP. These tracks also appear on the quasi-official collection The Forgotten Songs of David Robert Jones. They're probably a more accurate representation of how Bowie and the Buzz sounded live than the officially released studio recordings are.
