Max Ochester, a longtime music collector from Philadelphia, recently discovered raw, unreleased David Bowie recordings from the “Young Americans” sessions, which offered a rare look into the legendary artist’s creative process.

Ochester made the discovery when he came across rare reel-to-reel studio tapes from a foreclosed home in the suburbs, according to The Telegraph. Among the collection were tapes from iconic 1970s soul artists like The Intruders and Billy Paul.

Ochester also discovered a box of unmarked tapes, which he initially thought were blank. Two years later, while working at Elm Street Studios, he realized the tapes were filled with unreleased tracks from legendary Philadelphia soul artists.
