David Bowie - A Letter To Hermoine; Flash 08.89.0105-33; 1989; [NEAR MINT]; There is much debate concerning the year and location of this recording. The general consensus is, this is an early recording of David Bowie and Feathers performing demos for Space Oddity in David's bedroom at Clairville Grove, Beckenham Arts Lab on 2 February 1969. This is a fantastic document, showcasing Bowie and John Hutchinson as a kind of Simon-and-Garfunkel-style duo. Janine includes
a few seconds of the tune of the Beatles song Let It Be. The version of Space Oddity is the one that can be found on the Sound + Vision box set in better sound quality. Also note the misspelling of the title: it should be
"Hermione", and not "Hermoine", of course.
This recording is a must for the diehard Bowie fan/collector!
