2016 reissue on 180g vinyl - Originally released as Man of Words/Man of Music, Space Oddity was David Bowie's first successful reinvention of himself. Abandoning both the mod and Anthony Newley fascinations that marked his earlier recordings, Bowie delves into a lightly psychedelic folk-rock, exemplified by the album's soaring title track. Bowie actually attempts a variety of styles on Space Oddity, as if he were trying to find the ones that suited him best. As such, the record isn't very cohesive, but it is charming, especially in light of his later records.A1 Space Oddity A2 Unwashed And Somewhat Slightly Dazed A3 Letter To Hermione A4 Cygnet Committee B1 Janine B2 An Occasional Dream B3 The Wild Eyed Boy From Freecloud B4 God Knows I'm Good B5 Memory Of A Free Festival
