David Bowie- Space Oddity-LP

David Bowie’s 1972 reissue of Space Oddity marked the album’s first chart appearance in the UK, reaching number 17 and bringing renewed attention to tracks like “Space Oddity” and “Cygnet Committee.” This edition is notable for its Mick Rock cover photo, which captures Bowie in his Ziggy Stardust phase, linking the album visually to one of his most transformative periods. The reissue also omits the unlisted track “Don’t Sit Down” found on the original 1969 release, streamlining the listening experience and focusing on Bowie's evolving artistry. This pressing comes on vinyl from 1972 and carries a VG condition, meaning it’s fully playable with some visible surface wear and likely a touch of background noise, typical for a record of this vintage. The Rockaway label pressing offers a solid vintage snapshot without veering into the realm of collector’s myth. It’s a practical choice for those interested in Bowie’s early work with a tangible connection to the early ’70s, perfect for a listener who appreciates both the music and the era’s visual storytelling. After all, not every Bowie album gets to moonwalk into the charts twice.

Sound samples are included to help you get a feel for the music, but they may not always match the exact pressing or track version of the record listed. When in doubt, trust the photos and pressing information - that's the actual record you're buying.
