Got to keep searching and searching…
OK folx…I’m posting the winners in this much-delayed announcement for the Space Oddity 40th Anniversary Limited Edition CD contest we set back in October. (10.12.2009 NEWS: SPACE ODDITY 40TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION CDs TO BE WON)
The delay is down to the fact that we’ll be running another contest to win more copies of the CD and the vinyl with hopefully a little something extra that I can’t announce right now.
So if the five members below would like to hold fire until that contest is announced, then they will automatically have the something extra included too. Here are the five…
gmoney
ikehatabin
jungtheforeman
tenimmo

To be in with a chance of winning one of the CD packages, all the above members had to do was identify three of the seven elements in the animation of George Underwood‘s painting, (above) that were later recycled for other Bowie-related stuff. (See the original contest item for more detail.)
The first of the three was the Pierrot and the old lady, recreated for the 1980 Ashes To Ashes video…
Next up was the little alien figure later reproduced as STARMAN in a sheet of RCA promotional decals for the Ziggy Stardust album, and even later for George Underwood’s beautiful set of Ziggy Stardust pins.
In the illustration below I’ve also included George’s original drawing (far right) for clarity…
Finally, the one that seemed to stump most of you, even though the solution had been posted on BowieNet back in August, (08.16.2009 NEWS: BECKENHAM FREE FESTIVAL FORTY YEARS AGO TODAY) was the 1970 UK press advert for the Memory Of A Free Festival single.
As I say, if you five winners could hang fire for now, we’ll post your names again in the winners of the next Space Oddity 40th Anniversary CD and vinyl contest, so you too can claim the “something extra”!
Wow…that was fun, wasn’t it?
