Background
Like the box sets Spying Through a Keyhole and Clareville Grove Demos, the LP was released to coincide with the 50th anniversary of Bowie's 1969 album David Bowie. The "Space Oddity" demo had already been released in an edited form as the first track of the 1989 box set Sound + Vision.[2]
The box sets liner notes suggest that the tapes were recorded at David's apartment at Clareville Grove, South Kensington, sometime between the first studio attempt at "Space Oddity" on February 2, 1969, and David's move to Beckham in mid-April.[3]
