David Bowie : Space Oddity (Multi Tracked)

GROUND CONTROL TO MAJOR TOM

GROUND CONTROL TO MAJOR TOM

TAKE YOUR PROTEIN PILLS

AND PUT YOUR HELMET ON..

"Space Oddity" 

is a song by

 the English

 singer-songwriter

 David Bowie

 It was first released 

July 11th 1969

 by Philips and

 Mercury Records 

as a 7-inch single, 

then as the

 opening track 

of his second

 studio album,

 David Bowie.

 Produced by

 Gus Dudgeon

 and recorded at

 Trident Studios

 in London,

 it is a tale about

 a fictional astronaut 

named

 Major Tom; 

its title and subject matter 

were partly inspired

 by

 2001: A Space Odyssey

 (1968) 

and Bowie's feelings 

of alienation 

at that point in his career.

 Its sound departed

 from the 

music hall of his

 debut album

 to psychedelic folk

 inspired by

 the Bee Gees;

 it was one of the 

most musically

 complex compositions

 he had written 

up to that point.

Rush-released

 as a single to

 capitalise on

 the Apollo 11

 Moon landing,

 it received critical praise

 and was used by

 the BBC as

 background music 

during its coverage 

of the event. 

It initially 

sold poorly

 but soon reached 

number five

 in the UK, 

becoming Bowie's 

first and only

 chart hit 

for another

 three years.
