On 2 February 1969, David Bowie went in to Willesden’s Morgan Studios to cut a new song, ‘Space Oddity’, with colleague John ‘Hutch’ Hutchinson (who sings the ‘ground control’ sections) for ‘Love You Till Tuesday’, a film that was being made by Bowie’s then manager, Kenneth Pitt.
Bowie subsequently demoed further versions of the song in an attempt to secure a record deal, which led ultimately to a contract with Mercury/Philips and the world-famous hit version recorded on 20 June 1969. The February recording finally became part of Decca when Pitt sold the rights to Love You Till Tuesday to PolyGram in 1984.

He is not dead he just went back to the stars, rest in peace starman
Bogget I’m sad now, are you happy?
Bogget who gave you the right to make me sad
Dude, I'm pretty sure he's dead
is that what your mum told you when you came home and your starman ran away
@@slinkraidsagain our star man
Wow. Look at him, so young. I never heard this version of this song either.
Imagine being famous for that long? Not that he was overly famous at this time, but still more famous than most of us will ever experience even in those early days. What a crazy life. All the sex and drugs and rock 'n' roll. I wonder what he's doing now.
@@chocomanger6873 Not sure if you're being serious asking what he is doing now...
@@RMBII91 Oh OK Bro.
It sounds like the version for Bowie at the Beeb(early tracks from 1968-1971) rather than the album version Space Oddity album (1972), which has the more serious sound and much more layered.
R B I think it’s a cool question. Makes me wonder what he’s up to as well.
Clockwork orange + 2001 space odyssey + Star Wars
= greatest music video ever
No, just valerian and the city of a thousand planets
3:14 reminds me totally of clockwork orange
He looks a bit like luke Skywalker here too
David Bowie was actually a big fan of A Clockwork Orange. At this point though, the film wasn’t released. So perhaps Stanley Kubrick took inspiration from this music video?
@@aestheticaltwat i think this video was recorded years after the first version of the song
This young artist is quite promising, but you can clearly see he takes a big inspiration from Bowie.

He's not dead.
@@Euro.Patriot
......yes he is.
Vlad III he is
@@gio-cj9mf No, he's a god.
@@Euro.Patriot i mean, you're right!
The flutes in the middle of the song makes total difference
Lellos ikr
It’s like it’s being shittyfluted
@@mynameisjack0618 yeah, but that's what makes it interesting, too...
@@mynameisjack0618 lol with the shittyflute XD
Surprisingly good. But still i like the other version better.
I think this song’s about Major Tom losing grips on Reality as he realizes how small our existence is, and how the vastness of the universe swallows it.
Depressing buy accurate
Yep. I've heard an interpretation that states that Major Tom achieves Nirvana from being lost in space. A complete let go of the whole material world with nothing holding him back and nothing keeping him captive. Free of all.
It's about a drug overdose.
"Ashes to ashes / Funk to funky / We know Major Tom's a junkie. / Struck out at heaven's high, / hitting an all time low."
Than ashes to ashes comes and finds out he’s gonna die
R/iam14andthisisdeep
This doesn't even look like it's a 1969 music video, and that's amazing, David Bowie was so far ahead of his time.
It's from the film "Love You Til Tuesday" which was at one point (maybe still is) available on DVD. I have a nice PAL copy (576 lines in the picture instead of 480).
He did a good job...
Once again Bowie makes my day better
This kid looks like he just wants a quiet life
I though a buff version of him punched a hole through your chest
Well today's most songs quality is that low
kakyoin what are you doing here?
One word.
Donut.
He looks like Luke Skywalker lol. Or more probable, Luke looks like him.
Oddly enough,I find this version of Bowie more weird looking than Ziggy Stardust or Aladdin Sane.
ncmsc n bro that’s the first thing I thought when I saw this
He looks like Alex Delarge
I would have said Liam Gallagher but like sky walkers better 😁
Ikr
God I’m in love with this man
Well he’s dead so......
Kovu! You’re awesome man, love your videos
I love him too
He died 3 years and 2 months before this video was published so...

Surprised it wasn’t here sooner but glad it is nonetheless
?
Santiago Velarde pajares I’m surprised the official video wasn’t on the channel until now
The video has been on TH-cam for a while now, but not on the official channel
Josh W that’s what I meant by channel
Remember when I first saw the video on TV, it was in October. My mom and I had a dispute that day, she had a new relationship, I hated the guy. I felt really bad that day, cried. And then I saw the video. I already was a fan, but not for long, maybe some days in. I smiled the whole time watching it. He truly helped me during that time period.
EDIT: I SAW THE VIDEO IN 2018, I'M NOT AN GRANDMA YET.
I Can help you
@@DJDOMME2908 You don't need to. The time is finally over, it was a long battle. They broke up after 2/3 months of dating. My mom me the fault to everything at first, now we are ok.
@TEAGHAN MITCHELL I'm 14, gonna be 15 in April. He's truly the best of the best.
@@JustSimpleJenny Haha, you made me laugh. Yeah, it can be taken that way too.
@theoatmilk 😊💙
I'm so glad we finally have an HD version of this video. The practical effects of the 60's/70's are really cool to watch, especially in HD. This is definitely my favorite video for this song.
I agree!
I looked at it and it's just upscaled from the PAL DVD of the film "Love You Til Tuesday" instead of an HD transfer from the film.
Space Oddity...
Just wait until the upcoming SPECIAL EDITION by George Lucas is released
Wouldn’t have this have been filmed in the late 70’s-early 80’s? 🤔
IT MAKES ME FEEL OLD, I AM 70 YEARS OLD, AND I STILL LIKE BOWIE SONGS
I'm 13 and I really love Bowie
Try being 19 and a huge David Bowie / 70s/80s music fan. You are very lucky to be a part of the generation who witnessed Bowie make history from his earliest successes.
I`m 65 and have loved Bowie since -72.
@@tommymorgan4677 lucky you..
@@tommymorgan4677 i envy you, being there when history were being made, i would have no idea how to describe it.
Sixty years ago. Wow.
Imagine if you told him in 1969 that millions of people would watch this on demand anytime anywhere, some at their homes, but others with the tiny sci-fi supercomputers in their pockets. And at a quality high enough to be able make out pores even on a face as smooth as his.
And this is just the beginning.
Fifty years* It would be sixty in 2029
Carl Sagan Maybe they came from the future to leave this comment
50 YEARS DUDE
I’m pretty sure he lived long enough to have a tiny sci-fi supercomputer himself but I get what you mean lmao
You have math problems
OMG you’ve been hiding this precious gem from us all these years. Great video quality.
Someone publish this here in youtube in 2017
I remeber watching it in 2016. But it wasn't available for the app, just the site.

Looking at this video it doesn't look fifty years old at all
It was recorded on Film, so the quality scales very well into digital media...
most video footage from the old days was low qual and blurry because the screens and computers couldnt handle it.
actually it does, did you see the eye makeup on those ladies...?
This is like one of the most 70s things I've ever seen, even if the filming is good.
GnArnold mostly due to VHS, DVD and TV broadcasting not being capable of holding - transmitting much data so the full quality would get compressed. But by scanning in 2K or 4K the original film the full quality can be maintained if stored on a Blu-Ray or 4K Blu-Ray.
There's always a new group of 20-somethings making low-budget stuff. Always go see them. Most won't turn into superstars, but maybe one will.
I heard this back in 2015, and my ADHD mind just went calm, and I started imagining this in my head. That was the start of me becoming a Bowie fan
Helps my ADHD too, weird..
I have ADD but it still helped
Bowie Freak not Bowie fan
He's dead and he keeps loading new versions of old videos
Well yeah, they’re realizing versions he never did. That’s what happens.
He is in Cuba with Tupac
Xxxtentacion wants to know your location
He is in the stars sending it out, duh.
@ In Brazil, with Elvis and Michael Jackson.
I produced this recording for David at Morgan Studios - as part of Music supervision for the TV show - Jonathan Weston
You worked on this!?
How old are you?
You fought in the clone wars?
That's awesome. I would love to hear what David was like during his work time.
Incredible! I'd love to know more about what went into the making of this. It seems like Bowie was able to do so much with with so little here, and to great effect.
The original video with the original sound, well this is epic
@@jcs371 asies
This guy is great! He should be a musician.
Ikr he's so unappreciated.
I agree Fully!
@@AidanSludge always that one guy
He was a musician :'v
Sounds retro
Wow his voice sounded higher and he was so young 🥺
The ground control sections weren't by bowie doe
@@sanddebil who did it?
@@miguelangelgordillo4272 well you can see it's not bowie in this video,i don't know who that is,but it's definitely not bowie
@@sanddebil looks like bowie to me.
@@LucyWest370 it literally says in the description that it's not bowie
My 1st concert was David Bowie in Cleveland in 1973.. I was 17 years old.. Never forget the greatness.
Flat earthers be like
*Holy crap this is how nasa faked it*
😬
Ay ayy
@@mooncake909 fine, thanks! :D
The earth is not flat.

Seeing this version in actual good quality is the only thing keeping me alive now
You’ll be ok.
We all have those rough times in our lives, the low points. Keep strong buddy. I'm glad you're still with us :)
... we are a bunch of kooks here with you. please stay. it'll be a good start... i feel ya....
2:14 I am in love with this recorder sounding part. It's so cute and charming. 😄
His haircut his glasses his teeth its all so perfect
2:51 this part made me laugh so hard i love him
GC goes "Oh sh--" 🤣
That's how Bowie was, quirky and funny, though he didn't show the latter part a lot.

“I don’t know where I’m going from here, but I promise it won’t be boring.” Thank you Starman, we miss you
Bowie was the greatest artist that ever lived I miss him so much I would have loved to have seen him live
This song made me tear up. To think that this young man changed so many lives with his music, including mine.
R.I.P David Bowie
As long as there is still music you will be remembered.
Major Tom looked like Luke skywalker and ground control looked like John Lennon.
Ground Control looks more like John Denver to me, but I can see the Lennon in it also.
Paul Jewson I agree with both of you
Don't forget he looks like Alex this was filmed when he wasn't going at the old ultra violence
GC looks like Liam Gallagher
Both kinda make me think of David Bowie for some reason
Can't believe that David Bowie himself posted this years after his death, incredible.
That time when David Bowie created the character of Luke Skywalker...
This deserves so many more views this was the version I first saw. My 5th grade introduced me to David Bowie. She showed the whole class this video and Life On Mars and everyone laughed at how he looked with his makeup and orange hair but I was so mesmerized. I thought he was beautiful. Ever since then I’ve been obsessed with him. I remember when I found out he passed I was in 6th grade and I was heart broken. I always had a crush on him not gonna lie💀. I’m 15 now and I still love him and his music. This video deserves SO many more views. This video and this song is iconic and it’s childhood to me. I’m forever grateful to my teacher for introducing me to him.
Im so sad that i only recently discovered him😭 (im 14)
I discovered like five years ago, how I wish I'd know him before he died
In 2016 we lost a lot of people in creative industries
Fox?
He and Freddie Mercury are gay gender fluid and loves men 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Man, I love this scene of A Clockwork Orange
Lol 😂😂
Whats that
I always preferred this one instead, and now it’s in great quality, what a time to be alive
I love the original version the most! It's so pure and beautiful!
Nice cover, Luke.
Skywalker?
@@jenniferlopez3526 Yes
The first versión
Thanks for that, David

One of the most important and underrated artists of all time.
What the fuck since when is David Bowie underrated
@@jonathangilad7506 He has always been underrated. Many artists today are considered more important than him. This is very sad!
@@jonathangilad7506... His genius is unmatched
@@michelesantospirito2231 He was definitely not underrated while alive.
michele santospirito Bowie never was underestimated
50歳です。
この音楽がすごく好みで、雰囲気が子供の頃の記憶を呼び起こす感じで心が震えます🫨❤
même chose pour moi malgré les milliers de kilomètre qui nous sépare 私たちを何千キロも隔てていたとしても、私にとっても同じこと
It seems like Stanley Kubrick tried a crossover between "A Clockwork Orange" and "2001:A Space Oddysey"
2001: A Clockwork Oddity
Mr. Christopher 2001: A Clockwork ODDITY
Yeah hahahha
I miss u starman
love this version so much ♡
i miss him so much..
this video gives me goosebumps because he's so cute and his voice sounds so soft 🥺🥺
There's a Starman waiting in the sky.. He is called David Bowie..
One of the best songs if not the best song of all time in my opinion
Trust Joe yes, but I like the other version better
this new guy's so underrated, cant wait for this to blow up :(((
Regina Falangie people in the 60s probably just thought he was another person trying to make it, but then he turned into David Bowie 🥺 a revolutionary man who literally created glam rock.
@@dejahmahina david bowie looks like he was from 2084. Im profoundly perplexed by the fact that he was on the rise in the 1960’s. How was he so ahead of his timeZ
This is like my 50th time watching this i cant get enough of this bowie looks so young 😭
Luke Skywalker's cooler brother.
RIP Bowie :(
Storystein older or younger brother ?

@@matthewhampshire1088 older
Bowie never fails to amaze even when he's no longer here.
Happy Birthday to this incredible human specimen. Indeed an oddity, as there’ll never be another like him. You mean more to me than you’ll ever know (unfortunately). Thank you Bowie, thank you so much.
Words can not describe the influence he's had on our lives and how he continues to touch new people with his immortal work. Love him to pieces!!
Hi Lesley I recommend another type of 'space' song to take a listen to: 'Where I Come From' By Robert Nix
Anybody else thought that ground control and major Tom were acted by the same guy
h'h'haaa.. he already answered that question... yeeears ago "ashes to ashes, funk to funky, we know major tom's a junky" (you gotta listen ^^. artists do not repeat themselves. well, actually they do. ;p)
No
They only look alike, but they aren't the same guy
Thanks dear David. Major Tom Is back.
i have a feeling this guy will make it big in the music business...really underrated stuff right here
I honestly don't know if you're joking but he's been dead for a few years now
@@whoremongeringass-wipe5733 i thought it was pretty obvious that it was a joke, imagine if i were dead serious lmao
I have loved this song for many years, but have never seen this video! David was one of a kind, reinventing himself so many times! Weird and wonderful but also magnificent.
Was this video directed by Stanley Kubrick....?
It is actually a strange mix of clockwork orange and 2001
Wow you’re right👌👌👌
Stevie wonder did it
"Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do"
Simplesmente perfeito!!!
This song turns 50 this year and is still as awesome as the first day.
imagine how crazy his music videos would look today with all the technology & possibilities
Black Star looks dope tho
2:14
I was looking back at his songs and, even though he is dead and it's incredibly sad, I couldn't help but smile when I heard it.
I love David Robert Jones so much!! He is my number one favorite artist!! The most handsome man I have ever seen as well. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Look at that beautiful smoll bean, it’s hard to stop a grin from forming in my face when seeing him.
We miss you, David uwu
1:13 господи, как красиво он разложил эту мелодию на два голоса. Причём верхний звучит громче, чем нижний. Это очень необычно.
В советское время единицы знали о Девиде Боуи, он не был у нас популярен

Thank you for everything you will always stay in our hearts. Rest in peace Starman.
Nice to see all these why not make a Bowie music video collection boxset on Blu-ray or reissue a full Bowie dvd archive
Joseph Carey That’s a great idea man!
Miss you david
David Bowie Gave Us Fantastic Music From Day One Our 🇬🇧 Superstar…Heaven Is A Better Place Now He’s R.I.P There…🙏❤️
This is the culture and the space where creativity and innovation springs from, the spirit.
I still remember when I first heard this song. I would look at the sky and think about space. This man was amazing in every single way and his music means everything to me. I still can't believe he's not with us anymore. May you rest in peace Sir David Bowie, wherever you are.

IS THAT A MOTHERFUCKING METAL GEAR SOLID REFERENCE?!
The quality... oh I meant David's voice not the video
No but seriously this clip is amazing and in better quality? Yes please
Forever Starman
His voice sounds so young
51 years ago, and this song has aged like wine.
Yes
Good simile👌👌👌👌👌👌
This is the first time ive seen the original ! In good quality too!
I'm so glad this came back for me to see after his passing this is one of my absolute favorites from Bowie !
Oh, David, i love your music's and i miss you...
This is probably one of the best music videos I have ever seen. Simply but incredibly emotional and truly inspiring. I started to love this song the moment I heard it for the first time. Thank you David for this beautiful piece of music. I miss you⚡❤️
It’s like the girls are the fire as he’s surrounding with the fire and dying he’s still singing in happiness
This is the best version of space oddity.
Yay ! The original space oddity x)
David Bowie developed one of the best voices ever. It was so good practically ever song he sang turned out to be a hit!
Over 50 years ago.
Every day we're drifting further in time from when this was released. We're all major Tom.
idk why this was recommended to me but i’m not mad
@Allegra Nylund So you think you can stop me and spit in my eye

Ohhhhh baby
Can't do this to me baaby!! Just gotta get ouut, just gotta get right outta heeyah!!

What an incredible artist! In the literal sense of the word - Art. As an engineer I had never respected the arts before, but the depth and creativity in Bowie's music is unfathomable!
The quality of this song is amazing.
This whole video looks homemade on budget...yet feels so good...
This is art in its purest form
David will always be a legend!

One of the coolest video clips in music history rip david bowie ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hey you might like a band called The Doublejumps if you like listening to David Bowie ✌
This is such a cool version, very in line with his early folk-baroque roots. Obviously i love the later version but just...wow.
