"A new installment in Parlophone's ongoing reissue series revisits an oft-bootlegged 1969 session with fellow folkie John Hutchinson: literal bedroom tapes, but still revelatory".

" It's a demo tape, deliberately rough and functional, the kind of thing designed to spark interest from professionals but not meant for public listening. That The Mercury Demos was released officially - in an absurdly lavish box set filled with tchotchkes, no less - is a testament to Bowie's enduring legacy, a legacy that effectively started once Mercury heard this tape and signed him to a record contract".
