SPACE ODDITY 45 RELEASED 55 YEARS AGO TODAY “And the stars look very different today…” To mark the 55th anniversary of the release of the Space Oddity single, we thought that this post would bear repeating. Five years ago, In celebration of both Space Oddity’s 50th anniversary and the release of the Tony Visconti’s 2019 Mix of both the Space Oddity album and single, Nacho’s Videos gave us another exclusive. Nacho synced the new full-length mix to the original Hits A GoGo broadcast live from Zurich on 3rd November, 1969. The show had a haunted house theme for the recent Halloween celebrations, which explains the moody lighting and dry ice. Watch the complete video, here: https://youtu.be/PbNsWll5ufw?si=vm_p3B_CkP9JKr7b (Linktree in bio) #SpaceOddity55 #SpaceOddity2019TVmix #NachoBowie
BOWIE THING – #246 – LABYRINTH FILM SCRIPT “A love that will last within your heart…” Film memorabilia is a very popular area for collectors and as we’ve mentioned before, items associated with the films of David Bowie are no exception. Aside from the lobby cards, fliers, books, stills and posters that we have featured in the past, there are other harder to acquire collectables, such as props. Scripts/screenplays are another desirable area for collectors, though authenticity is hard to prove as they are generally easy to reproduce. Whether original (often reflected in the price and good provenance) or photocopied fakes, they can be fun either way. Often there will be changes to the final film as things are tweaked during shooting. The Labyrinth example we’ve used is peppered with sketches throughout, though there are no renditions of Jareth. Maybe Bowie hadn’t signed at the time this example was made, though even Sarah looks quite different to the Jennifer Connelly version in Labyrinth. Is this an area that interests you? Do you own any original props from any Bowie films? Jareth’s outfit, including tights, is accounted for before anyone tries to claim ownership of that. #DailyBowieThing #BowieLabyrinth #BowieFilmMemorabilia

RANDOM BOWIE COLLECTABLE – 001: TMWFTE FRENCH LOBBY CARDS
“Hallo Spaceboy…”
Here’s a new feature we’ll be running if it doesn’t prove to be a bit too niche. We’ll be looking at Bowie collectables with the focus on the possible pitfalls associated with each item.
The spin-offs associated with a film’s release would be too long to list here, suffice to say, lobby cards are a gentle way in for the novice collector and a rewarding one at that.
Lobby cards are a set of stills from a film which are displayed in the lobby or foyer of a cinema. Most commonly around A4 in size, they are usually printed on card, and sometimes thinner glossy paper. Lobby cards were usually sent to cinemas or handed out at press conferences in envelopes along with press kits and posters.
Today we’re showing you the 24 cards that were issued for the French release of The Man Who Fell To Earth (L’HOMME QUI VENAIT D’AILLEURS) in which David played T J Newton. (The French title translates to The Man From Elsewhere)
Even if you only concentrated on memorabilia from The Man Who Fell To Earth, it’s unlikely that your collection would ever be complete. But lobby cards are a great thing to concentrate on if you find them appealing.
The reason we’ve started on this one is because there is currently a plethora of these on online auction sites. But there are a few things to bear in mind before you shell out.
Many of these sets have been split up with the cards being sold individually. This is one of the reasons it’s so hard to find a complete set of L’HOMME QUI VENAIT D’AILLEURS cards these days.
Things to bear in mind are how many cards were originally in the set, often incomplete sets are offered with no mention that they aren’t complete.
Also, ask the seller if they are genuine or reproductions of some kind? Some of this knowledge can only be gained through experience.
At least five countries around the globe (probably more) produced lobby card sets for TMWFTE, though this French set of 24 contains the most, there were just 8 in the UK set, for example.

Gary Gershoff was the chap who captured Bowie looking a bit pleased with himself.

BOWIE THING – #247 – YASSASSIN 45 IS 45 “I’m not a moody guy…” Shortly after the June 1979 release of the DJ single, Yassassin was released in The Netherlands (backed by Repetition) and Turkey (backed by Red Money) in July 1979. The unique Dutch single edit of Yassassin was reissued on Re:Call 3 from the A New Career In A New Town box set. Yassassin features an additional Bowie vocal in the fadeout of the 2017 Tony Visconti Mix of Lodger from the same box set. If you’re not familiar with this mix of Lodger, you really should check it out. The cover of the Turkish release featured an Andy Kent live shot from 1978, while the sleeve for The Netherlands was a variation of the UK DJ sleeve with the image flipped. FOOTNOTE: Yassassin is Turkish for long live. #DailyBowieThing #BowieYassassin45
