Flashback 50: David Bowie's Space Oddity
A Flashback 50 to David Bowie’s Space Oddity. It was David Bowie’s first important album, and it features the signature track that is one of the iconic rock songs of the last 50 years. It was released on November 14, 1969. In England it came out as David Bowie and in the US as Man of Words/Man of Music. It didn’t make any kind of splash then until it was reissued in 1972 with the title changed to the name of the opening track and one of Bowie’s best known tunes, Space Oddity. We’ll hear an extended fantasy version of “Space Oddity” on Echoes.
