Clareville Grove Demos - 2019 UK Parlophone label Promotional Issue 3x7" Singles

Rare 2019 European Parlophone label promotional issue 6-track mono 45 r.p.m. 3 x 7" box set - manufactured to promote the single box which was a part of the 2019 celebration marking 50 years anniversary of David Bowies self titled 1969 album... also known as Space Oddity.

The Clareville Grove Demos features live demos of tracks recorded prior to the release of the Space Oddity album at Bowies flat in Clareville Grove, London. The demos are recorded as a duo with John 'Hutch' Hutchinson following the end of the Feathers trio, which featured David's then girlfriend Hermione Farthingale.
The box features Space Oddity and An Occasional Dream which ended up on the album - as well as four previously unreleased recordings.
 
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. Each disc is housed in a generic white die-cut card outer sleeve... all held together by a black printed white bellyband with artists and title info. This promotional issue comes without any prior artwork than the belly band and the 7" Singles are as such the same as the commercially availiable Box Set singles.

Condition: 3xM- (Vinyls and Labels)/3xM- (Sleeves)/M- (Belly Band):
Vinyls looks unused - unpleyed and unhandled - perfect. The generic white sleeves are without any signs of storage or handling - the belly band mint.
