This is a DAVID BOWIE The Mercury Demos BOX SET. It is new, sealed and in mint condition. The set comes in a replica of the original tape (reel to reel) box and includes a vinyl LP (mono), a print, two photo contact sheets and sleeve notes by Mark Adams. The labels of the LP feature the same EMIDISC acetate styling as Spying Through A Keyhole and Clareville Grove Demos with the song titles in David’s own handwriting. There is a round sticker on the back of the shrinkwrap that reads "David Bowie with John 'Hutch' Hutchinson | The 'Mercury' Demos | DBMD 1969". The set was released in 2019 on Parlophone, catalog # DBMD 1969 / 0190295519155. It was recorded in Great Britain, made in EU.
The ‘Mercury’ Demos are 10 early Bowie recordings captured live in one take to a Revox reel to reel tape machine in David’s flat in spring 1969, with accompaniment from John ‘Hutch’ Hutchinson on guitar and vocals. The version of ‘Space Oddity’ from the Demos, originally released with edits on the Sound & Vision boxset, is presented here in its true context for the first time. The other nine recordings on the album are all previously unreleased. In addition to Bowie originals, the session also includes the Roger Bunn composition Life Is A Circus (which features as an earlier demo version on the Clareville Grove Demos set) and the Lesley Duncan composition, Love Song, later recorded by Elton John for his Tumbleweed Connection album. David’s own Conversation Piece is announced as ‘a new song’. Janine (track A2) features a short nineteen second section sung to the melody of The Beatles’ Hey Jude.
