“And the stars look very different today”
We’ve been looking at Space Oddity this week, the first album in the David Bowie (Five Years 1969 – 1973) box set (due September 25th).
To promote the reissue of both the Space Oddity and The Man Who Sold The World albums by RCA in late 1972, the label released the title track from each album in a picture sleeve single in the US in early 1973.
The single was further promoted with a new video shot by Mick Rock in New York in RCA’s studio 3. The promotion paid off as it gave Bowie his first American Top 20 single when it reached #15 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Stay tuned for more Space Oddity celebrations.
