DAVID BOWIE - CLAREVILLE GROVE DEMOS (LTD.)

Facts The set will contain home demos across three seven-inch singles. These were recorded in 1969 in David's flat in Clareville Grove, London (hence the name) and this live to tape demo session features David performing as a duo with John 'Hutch' Hutchinson following the end of the Feathers trio, which featured David's then girlfriend Hermione Farthingale.

Amongst the tracks are another demo of 'Space Oddity' (which was previously on the 2CD deluxe of the Space Oddity/David Bowie album), 'Lover to the Dawn' (an early version of the same album's 'Cygnet Committee') and a demo of 'An Occasional Dream'.

Box set photography is by Bowie's then manager, Ken Pitt and as with the Spying Through A Keyhole, the design of each single label is presented to reflect the way David sent many of his demos to publishers and record companies, featuring his own handwritten song titles on EMIDISC acetate labels. The singles are all mono and play at 45 rpm.
