This month marks the 50th anniversary of two historic cosmic events that shaped the course of history: David Bowie’s classic single “Space Oddity,” originally released 50 years ago on July 11, 1969, and the inaugural moon landing.

To celebrate these events,Parlophone has launched the new David Bowie Space Oddity x Unlock The Moon Experience. The website (www.spaceoddity50.com) allows users to direct their phone’s camera towards the moon and, once perfectly aligned, unlock the brand new 2019 Tony Visconti mix of “Space Oddity.” Parlophone also released a double 7-inch single of “Space Oddity” on July 12, featuring both the original “Space Oddity” mono version plus  the original B-side “Wild Eyed Boy From Freecloud” and brand new 2019 mixes of each by Tony Visconti.

The “Space Oddity” 50th anniversary double 7-inch boxed set includes a double-sided poster featuring an original “Space Oddity” print advertisement and a Ray Stevenson shot of Bowie taken on stage at the Save Rave ’69 concert in London. Additionally, a new video of “Space Oddity” featuring footage of David Bowie performing Space Oddity at his 50th birthday concert at Madison Square Garden in 1997 (directed by Tim Pope), married to footage shot and directed by Eduaord Lock (the founder and choreographer of the Montreal dance troupe La La La Human Steps), for the onscreen back drop of Bowie’s 1990 Sound & Vision tour which will be premiered during Apollo 11: A 50th Anniversary Celebration – One Small Step, One Giant Leap, a one-night-only tribute to the 1969 moon landing from the National Symphony Orchestra (NSO), in collaboration with NASA on Saturday, July 20 at the Kennedy Center Concert Hall.
