More Info
The double 7” set will come in a box including a double-sided poster featuring an original Space Oddity print advertisement and a Ray Stevenson shot of David taken on stage at the ‘Save Rave ‘69’ concert at the London Palladium on 30th November, 1969, the backdrop featuring a N.A.S.A. astronaut. The set also includes an information card and a print featuring an alternative shot by Jojanneke Claassen from the Space Oddity promo single cover session.

First released as a 7-inch single on 11 July 1969, Space Oddity was also the opening track of David Bowie’s eponymous second studio album, David Bowie (later re-named "Space Oddity" on re-issue). Initially inspired by Stanley Kubrick's film 2001: A Space Odyssey, the song gained huge popularity when it was adopted as the unofficial theme of the Apollo 11 moon landing mission which launched five days after the single’s release.
