Lift off…
As we told you back in September, (09.22.2009 NEWS: SPACE ODDITY RELEASE MOVED TO NOVEMBER IN USA) the Space Oddity 40th Anniversary Edition is released in the US today.
The album is issued in the same formats as it has already been released elsewhere…those formats being 2CD set, heavyweight vinyl in gatefold sleeve and digital download.
The album was originally released in America as MAN OF WORDS/MAN OF MUSIC on the Mercury label with a completely different sleeve to the original UK version.
However, it did utilise the George Underwood painting, The Depth of the Circle, on the reverse, albeit a smaller version. (See above)
I’m planning to do a round-up of all the variations of this album in the near future…please get in touch if you think you have something regarding it that may be of interest.
