NEW YEARS EVE 1979

On New Years eve 1979, Bowie appeared on Kenny Everetts New Years Eve programme with a video that would preface the Ashes to Ashes video some months later and that would contain some of the basic ideas that would be fleshed out for Ashes to Ashes. This acoustic version of Space oddity was not intended for release but due to a capital Radio DJ playing the tape on air and subsequent pirate distribution,the song did makes its way onto official single releases though this video has seldom been seen officially.
