A new video for David Bowie‘s Space Oddity has been shared on the 50th anniversary of the single’s original release.
Neatly coinciding with the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11’s journey to the moon, the 2019 version features on the recent box-set of Space Oddity, and was mixed by Tony Visconti. The video itself contains footage from a concert at Madison Square Garden in 1997 and visuals directed by Édouard Lock for Bowie’s 1990 Sound & Vision Tour.
“Single 1 features both the original mono version of the song plus the original mono B-side, Wild Eyed Boy From Freecloud and it’s contained in a replica of the ultra-rare original promotional UK single sleeve,” the boxset’s social media blurb reads.
“Single 2, which boasts superb new 2019 mixes of both songs by Tony Visconti, comes in a new sleeve with a Ray Stevenson shot of David taken on stage during a performance of Space Oddity at the ‘Save Rave ‘69’ concert at the London Palladium on 30th November, 1969, in front of a backdrop featuring a NASA astronaut.”
