The demos were recorded at the late iconographer Clareville Grove in London in January 1969 with guitarist John "Hutch" Hutchinson. They had both been part of the Feathers trio with Farthingale, with whom Bowie had separated shortly before the demos were recorded.
The photograph on the cover of the box, taken by Bowie's director, Ken Pitt, was taken in Clareville Grove. He sees Bowie with exceptionally short hair, having cut him off for his role in the movie The virgin soldiers.
