“You’ve really made the grade”
Forty years ago this very week, (October 11, 1975) David Bowie’s reissued Space Oddity entered the UK singles chart at #23, eventually ascending to the top spot.
Today, the 40th anniversary picture disc of Space Oddity (released worldwide last Friday), has entered the official UK chart at #1. (http://smarturl.it/OCC45sDBoct09)
Thanks to all of you that helped get this record into the UK top 5 for the third time. (It reached #5 in the UK in November 1969)
