David Bowie’s second studio album marked a significant turning point in his career.
Originally released in November 1969 by Philips in the UK as David Bowie and by Mercury in the US as Man of Words/Man of Music, the album was later reissued in 1972 by RCA under the title Space Oddity—named after the opening track, which had become a hit single in July 1969, reaching No. 5 on the UK Singles Chart.

The album reflects Bowie’s shift from the cabaret and avant-garde leanings of his 1967 debut toward a more folk- and hippie-inspired sound, signaling the emergence of a new artistic direction.
