“Do you remember a guy that's been, In such an early song?”
Taped the previous week, David Bowie’s appearance on Top Of The Pops with Space Oddity was broadcast fifty years ago tonight on 9th October, 1969.
The single had reached #13 and it would continue its ascent of the UK chart till it peaked at #5.
Sadly, the tape was wiped by the BBC, but were you lucky enough to catch this historic performance?
The mono pic in our montage is another exclusive and previously unpublished shot by BBC photographer Harry Goodwin taken from the Conversation Piece book.
