Track Description
Available in:
"Space Oddity" is a song written and recorded by David Bowie. It was first released as a 7-inch single on 11 July 1969.
Several demos had been recorded in early 1969. The "original demo" released on Sound + Vision was recorded mid-April.
Before that, in late January 1969 another demo was recorded. This demo differs greatly from the album version, with only an acoustic guitar and Stylophone present as instruments. The vocals in this demo were provided by Bowie and Hutchinson. Hutchinson sang the lead vocals of the "Ground Control section" up until "...This is Major Tom to Ground Control...", while Bowie sang the harmony vocals. When the aforementioned lyric begins, however, the source of the lead vocals switches to Bowie as he continues to provide them for the rest of the song. Hutchinson played the acoustic guitar, while Bowie played the Stylophone. The demo was released on the 2009 two-CD special edition of the album David Bowie.
This version of the song appeared in "Love You till Tuesday", a promotional film designed to showcase the talents of David Bowie, made in 1969, directed by Malcolm J Thomson. The "Space Oddity" segment, featuring Bowie playing both 'Ground Control' and 'Major Tom' (with the latter becoming seduced by space maidens), is now often called the Original Video.
