It looks like we’re getting another posthumous David Bowie release with a forthcoming collection of previously unreleased demos titled The Mercury Demos
Warners are issuing a single vinyl LP of #DavidBowie demos that costs £86. This is not a joke, it's not a mistake, it's £86. If the price had been £87 I could have done an '87 and Cry' joke, but it wasn't to be. Read about 'The Mercury Demos' here > https://t.co/J5uq7oE8Y0 pic.twitter.com/vy2JgdAtI5

The album, which is set for release on June 28th via Parlophone, will be a collection of 10 Bowie recordings from the spring of 1969 that eventually resulted in Bowie’s deal with Mercury Records. The album is set to arrive in a replica of the original tape box, an LP, two photo contact sheets, sleeve notes by Mark Adams, and a print.
