David Bowie

Following the recent Spying Through A Keyhole and Clareville Grove Demos, David Bowie's The Mercury Demos presents ten early, one-take recordings from the future superstar, recorded on a Revox reel-to-reel tape machine in Bowie's flat in spring 1969, with accompaniment from his friend and collaborator John "Hutch" Hutchinson on guitar and vocals.  Songs include "Space Oddity," "Janine," "Conversation Piece," and a cover of Lesley Duncan's "Love Song."  It's housed in a replica of the original tape box, and includes the LP, a print, two photo contact sheets, and new liner notes by Mark Adams.  The LP's labels feature the same EMIDISC acetate style as Spying Through A Keyhole and Clareville Grove Demos, with the song titles in Bowie's own handwriting.
