Peter Murphy Releases Space Oddity Single

Down in space, its always 1982…

Peter Murphy of popular singing combo, Bauhaus, has released a 6:32 minute solo version of Space Oddity via iTunes as the second part of his Secret Cover campaign…John Lennon‘s Instant Karma being the first.

You may remember that Bauhaus are one of a select few that have taken a Bowie composition into the UK Top 20 singles chart, which they did with their cover of Ziggy Stardust in 1982.

It’s unlikely that this release will equal the success of Bauhaus’s Ziggy Stardust, but it’s an affectionate and heartfelt version that I’m sure many of you will enjoy.

Peter has been closing shows on his current tour with Space Oddity apparently much to the appreciation of his audience.
