DESCRIPTION:

THE 'MERCURY' DEMOS are ten early Bowie recordings captured live in one take to a Revox reel to reel tape machine inBowie's flat in spring 1969, with accompaniment from John "Hutch" Hutchinson on guitar and vocals.

THE 'MERCURY' DEMOS set will come in a replica of the original tape box and will feature one LP, 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 Bowie's own handwriting.

Driven by an entirely deeper dynamic than most pop artists, David Bowie inhabited a very special world of extraordinary sounds and endless vision. Unwilling to stay on the treadmill of rock legend and avoiding the descent into ever demeaning and decreasing circles of cliché, Bowie wrote and performed what he wanted, when he wanted. His absence from the endless list of “important events” has just fuelled interest. Constant speculation about what the guy was up to has even led some to wonder if this is his gr

The session was a basic recording of the ‘Bowie & Hutch’ duo’s set list at the time and was committed to tape at the request of Mercury Records A&R man Calvin Mark Lee who wanted the tracks to send them to his boss Bob Reno. Both Calvin and Bob are referenced during the 41-minute recording, and the demos were key in securing David his recording deal with Mercury Records.

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’ and Janine features a short nineteen second section sung to the melody of The Beatles’ Hey Jude.

Nice price for a good product
Color: gray
They’re a great fit at a good price I’ve used them before and I put them in before I have my oil change done because otherwise they try to charge you like lots of money for both of those when it takes five minutes max to get them both in your car

IMPRESSED!
Item Package Quantity: 1, Item Package Quantity: 1
I bought this for my Honda civic 2017 lx 1.5 and it is a perfect fit. I didn’t realize how important it is to change it. Let me tell you if you are thinking about buying this, it’s your sign not JUST because of health which is vital and first and foremost but the PRICE! At any oil change or auto shop they will charge no less than 50$ and I’ve seen higher. I will continue to buy this brand. I will update in my next 5,000 miles. 8.00$ or 50$+ and the quality is EXACTLY the same, your choice.

2016 Honda civic ex
Item Package Quantity: 1
Fits perfectly in my 2016 Honda Civic EX. Installation was quick and easy, and the air coming from the vents smells much cleaner now. It seems to trap dust and pollen well and is a good replacement for the OEM filter.

Perfect fit and reasonable price. Easy to replace in my 2019 Honda CR-V. It takes about 10 minutes to replace. Don't let a dealership rip you off.
