DAVID BOWIE LET ME SLEEP BESIDE YOU/KARMA MAN ADVISION STUDIOS MASTER TAPE.

Incredible piece of David Bowie history here with this 2-track master tape recording reel of "Let Me Sleep Beside You" and "Karma Man". Recorded at Advision Sound Studios, London by Tony Visconti, dated 04/09/1967. This was the first time that David and Tony Visconti had worked together and marked the start of a hugely important collaboration. There is a note written on the box that says "VERY!! Rough Reductions". These tracks were never released by Decca as singles due to them being too "risque" but they did mark an important stepping stone for Bowie as he moved from quirky storytelling songs over to a more rock oriented sound. Also included is a CD backup of the tape. These items are sold as artefacts only, without copyright. Any reproduction is strictly prohibited.

Sold for £4,000
