David Bowie rubber Band / In The Heat Of The Morning Acetate 6.5 Single

Unique double sided metal acetate 6.5 record Audiodisc labels David Bowie - Rubber Band / In The Heat of The Morning Side A: Rubber Band VG has light hairlines Side B: In The Heat of The Morning VG very few light hairlines Audiodisc sleeve still in VG condition On of a kind because In the heat of the morning was never officially released as a single.
In the heat of the morning marked the end of the line for David Bowie and his label Deram: it was the second single Bowie recorded that Deram rejected, despite the fact that, as with Let Me Sleep Beside You, Bowie was writing more commercial songs than he had in the past.
It didn t matter: Deram just wanted rid of him and Bowie left the label in April 1968.
So In the Heat of the Morning is a fragment of an uncompleted work.
It was meant to be the centerpiece of Bowie s second Deram LP, and Bowie and Tony Visconti do their best to shine it up: another luxurious strings arrangement, some odd instrumentation guitar doubled with the Sooty Pixie Xylophone, the latter played by Tyrannosaurus Rex s Steve Peregrin Took, who dubbed it the Pixiephone and a Bowie vocal that s ditched the Anthony Newley-isms for a sultrier, more commanding tone.
Like Sleep Beside You, it s basically a come-on with pretensions, but, hey, those can work sometimes.
