Back in 2001, David Bowie re-recorded some of his early and lesser-known compositions and planned to release it as the album Toy. The album was dropped by Virgin, Bowie's record label by the time, and later Bowie left Virgin to set up his own record label ISO. However, the album is still nowhere near to be released.
Two tracks, "Uncle Floyd" and "Afraid", made it to his 2002 album Heathen. Three more, "Baby Loves That Way", "Shadow Man" and "You've Got A Habit Of Leaving" were released as b-sides.
Rolling Stones reports that the Bowie's office "declined to comment" on the leak.
