It was 30 years ago today……

Posted by Moonage | Filed under Events

Well, maybe not exactly 30 years, but it’s close.

Uncut Magazine ( click on the image to visit their site. ) sent me an email pointing at that at this tine in 1975, Space Oddity peaked at #1 In Britain following it’s re-release on the heels of the success of Fame from Young Americans. Oddly enough, Fame never made it to #1 in Britain although it did in the US. Young Americans would eventually peak at #2 in Britain, #9 in the US. However, November 1975 must have been a very fun time for Bowie fans. It was the success of Fame and Young Americans that peaked my curiousity enough to watch him perform on tv ( The Midnight Special and Don Kirshner’s Rock Concert ). I was hooked from that point on.

Thanks for the reminder, Uncut.

      Got my copy of the Uncut Bowie edition. It’s a hell of a good read. If you can find it, and you even like Bowie just a little bit, it’s a must read.

    Squawk like a pink monkey bird!
