DAVIE JONES WITH THE KING BEES - 'LIZA JANE'-'LOUIE, LOUIE GO HOME'
This single was the first recording to be released as a single by David Bowie, but under the name Davie Jones with The King Bees.
It was recorded during a 7-hour session at Decca Studios in West Hampstead, London in 1964 when Bowie was 17 years old.
This 100% genuine 1964 pressing is a genuine UK DEMO 45 on the Decca-pressed Vocalion Pop label: V.9221
Machine stamped matrix numbers: CPDR-33318-T1-1C & CPDR-33317-T1-1C
Counterfeits copies have hand-etched matrices.
Earliest possible Decca stamper codes: 1/B & 1/B
Housed in its original plain brown paper sleeve.
CONDITION
Disc
Labels: EXCELLENT +
As you can see, the original centre is absent but both labels are otherwise clean & bright. The only blemish is a small sliver of missing paper in the 2 o'clock position on the 'Liza Jane' label.
Visual: EXCELLENT +
Both deep-gloss playing surfaces are clean & unworn with just a small handful of very light paper scuffs in strong daylight. Closer examination beneath halogen light reveals little more than a few light hairlines and a sparkling rainbow shine. Both sides of this rare disc lie 100% flat on the turntable when playing.
Sound Quality: EXCELLENT +
This disc has not been played very much at all and the silent run-ins explode in to a powerful unworn sound, is free from any noticeable audible faults or wear on either side.
