That Was Only Yesterday
The Last EP

Recorded less than one year before David's death; "That Was Only Yesterday" represented the final unreleased, unheard songs known to exist from David's short life.   In late 1983 Richard Manners [Blue Mountain Music] asked Richard "Digby" Smith [Rough Diamond, Free, Sammy Hagar, Mott The Hoople] to put together a band and cut some tracks with David.   Including drummer Neil Conteh [Jagger/Bowie], bassist Alan Spenner [Joe Cocker, Roxy Music], guitarist Tim Renwick [Elton John, Eric Clapton, Pink Floyd], keyboardist John "Rabbit" Bundrick [Free, Roger Waters, The Who], an excellent group of musicians were assembled.  In February 1984 at Power Plant Studios, London three tracks were recorded.   Talk of a entire album was discussed by sadly that never came to be.  After contact with Digby Smith the studio tapes were baked and remastered in December 2007 at the Copyroom, London and a limited edition pressing of "The Last EP" took place in March 2008.
