DAVID BOWIE "space oddity" cd, 1969
career stats:
studio albums......................27
singles...............................121
this album................#17 UK...#21 AU...#13 CAN...#16 US
singles:
Space Oddity...........#1 UK...#9 AU...#15 US
David's second album....
notice the chart positions of the single above...
they were or when it was reissued ain 1973...
it scraped top20 in UK/AU in 1969 and didn't make the US top100back in '69...
I cant stand this album....
he hasn't really honed his craft/skills yet, still struggling to find his direction IMO...
some blues rock on here and a few hat sound like the single but are less melodic...
a disappointment from Bowie, but then again there are quite a few of his albums
that just don't cut it as far as complete albums go...
I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM
worst track: pick any one of eight!!!!
best track: Space Oddity
