The Man Who Sold the World

The Man Who Sold The World is an album by David Bowie. It was originally released on Mercury Records in November 1970 in the United States and in April 1971 in the UK. As Bowie was preoccupied with his new wife Angie at the time of its recording, much of the music was written by guitarist Mick Ronson and bassist and producer Tony Visconti, lending the album a distinct heavy metal edge that stands it apart from Bowie's other albums.

Rerelease

In 1990, 'The Man Who Sold The World' was reissued on CD for the first time. It had in extended tracklisting including Lightning Fightning, a 1972 rerecording of Holy Holy (Bowie vetoed inclusion of the original 1970 recording) and early versions of Moonage Daydream and Hang Onto Yourself released orignally under the name Arnold Corns by Bowie in 1971.
