RARE: SPACE ODDITY 1969

SPACE ODDITY 1969

David Bowie is the second studio album by David Bowie, released under that title by Philips in the UK, and by Mercury in the US as "Man of Words/Man of Music". It was later rereleased by RCA as "Space Oddity" but reverted to the original, eponymous, title for a 2009 reissue. 

Regarding its mix of folk, balladry and prog rock, NME editors Roy Carr and Charles Shaar Murray have said, "Some of it belonged in '67 and some of it in '72, but in 1969 it all seemed vastly incongruous. 

Basically, David Bowie can be viewed in retrospect as all that Bowie had been and a little of what he would become, all jumbled up and fighting for control..
