There are three singles associated with "David Bowie". Before releasing the album, Deram issued two singles with the same personnel. The first was "Rubber Band" b/w "London Boys" in December 1966. Both tracks were recorded in October 1966 and were used to secure Bowie's Deram contract. "Rubber Band" would be re-recorded for the album (and it is this version that was released as a single in the USA mid-1967 with "There Is A Happy Land", also from "David Bowie", as the B-side). "London Boys" has been lauded as Bowie's first mini-masterpiece, a melancholy observation of the London Mod scene of the time.
