What a treat for Bowie fans, as these songs have remained unreleased until now. 

The covers of John Lennon's 'Mother' and Bob Dylan's 'Tryin' To Get To Heaven' will be released on a special 7" vinyl on what would have been Bowie's 74th birthday on January 8th.

Fans can get their hands on one of 1000 limited edition cream coloured records, or one of the 7,147 black numbered vinyl records. The songs will be released five years after Bowie's death. 

Don't worry if you haven't got a record player though, as the songs will be added to all streaming platforms too.

Bowie recorded the John Lennon cover in 1998, for a tribute album that never happened. The Bob Dylan cover was recorded the same year.
