In August 1971, David Bowie`s manager Tony Defries had 500 promo LPs pressed to secure him and other Mainman artist Dana Gillespie a record deal. This promo album, featuring seven songs by David on side A and five by Daba Gillespie on the flip, is often being referred to as the BOWPROMO white-label album. The LP came in a generic white outer and inner sleeves and had no printed labels, so its matrix number (BOWPROMO 1A-1/1B-1) is the only way to safely define it. Most of the Bowie songs on this promo LP would appear four months later on Hunky Dory. However, as the recording and mixing of that album had not yet been finished, it transpired that the BOWPROMO LP contained two songs that would not end up on any official album for the next 20 years in any version (Bowie`s 'Bombers' and Gillespie`s "Lavender Hill"). Besides, it features marginally to very different early mixes/versions. ENJOY!!!
