Space Oddity/ The Man Who Sold the World

Most people born after 1980 assume that Nirvana wrote the classic "Man Who Sold The World," and they certainly did record an impressive version of it. In fact, the song fit so well with the grunge sound and modern rock in general that the mistake of youth is understandable. However, you've got to hear the original version by the song's author to appreciate it fully. Note that this release has the 5:05 version of "Space Oddity," which became Bowie's first top 40 hit in the U.S. Note: The 45 itself has no notable flaws, grading Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio). The cool picture sleeve is nearly flawless!
