David Bowie - Space Oddity

David Bowie AKA Space Oddity, 2015 remaster

180-gram LP breakout from the David Bowie Five Years 1969 - 1973 box set

The album, produced by Tony Visconti, was a giant leap forward in terms of songwriting for Bowie compared to his eponymous debut and can be considered as the first truly essential David Bowie album. Noted for a list of collaborators, including session players Herbie Flowers, Tim Renwick, Terry Cox and Rick Wakeman, the album delves into psychedelic folk-rock as well as prog, with its genre-defying template creating a blueprint of what would become, over the next decade and more, one of the most inimitable British artists.
