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 \u0026amp; 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¡¯ and Janine features a short nineteen second section sung to the melody of The Beatles¡¯ Hey Jude.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ffff00;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e649,95 dkr\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide 1\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpace Oddity \u003cbr\u003eJanine\u003cbr\u003eAn Occasional Dream \u003cbr\u003eConversation Piece\u003cbr\u003eChing-a-Ling\u003cbr\u003eI¡¯m Not Quite (aka Letter To Hermione)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide 2\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLover To The Dawn\u003cbr\u003eLove Song \u003cbr\u003eWhen I¡¯m Five\u003cbr\u003eLife Is A Circus\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WTP8teedr1Q\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"mysite","offers":[{"title":"2028\/6\/19","offer_id":54253303529813,"sku":null,"price":5.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1014\/9711\/0869\/files\/mercury_demos_mont1_1080sq.jpg?v=1782884528","url":"https:\/\/vinylalpine.com\/products\/bowie-david-the-mercury-demos","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
