Bowie's 1971 Starman demo to be auctioned

David Bowie made the recording in 1971 with Mick Ronson

A demo recording of David Bowie's hit song Starman will be auctioned on Tuesday.

The recording was made in 1971 by Bowie and his guitarist Mick Ronson.

It was given by Ronson to Kevin Hutchinson, one of Ronson's friends who hoped to get into the music business.

Hutchinson, who was a teenager at the time, said he had thought the recording was "OK" but that, having listened to it almost 50 years later, he had realised it was "phenomenal".
