David Bowie - Conversation Piece - 1969 video free download
Conversation Piece is a song from David Bowie's 1969 album Space Oddity. It contains a mix of folk, balladry, and prog rock. Held to be "the first Bowie album proper", and his first deemed worthy by record companies of regular reissue, Space Oddity featured a notable list of collaborators, including session players Herbie Flowers, Tim Renwick, Terry Cox, and Rick Wakeman, as well as cellist Paul Buckmaster, multi-instrumentalist and producer Tony Visconti, and bassist John Lodge. In 1990, the album was rereleased by Rykodisc/EMI with an expanded track listing including a restored "Don't Sit Down" as well as "Conversation Piece" and the two-part re-recording of "Memory of a Free Festival" that had been released as a single in 1970.

It's so sad, he's what 22 yrs here and bringing me to tears. Beautiful. First time I heard this I was reminded of 95 when soul asylum jacked all the hair bands with acoustics and talent. Bet they're Bowie fans10 years ago

Thanks for posting this. It is one of my all time favorite Bowie songs. Sounds almost experimental like he is testing it out, the timing is strange, the words are great, but different from the other Space Oddity album tracks (Which it was meant to go on?) except Letter to Hermione which it sounds a lot like to me, Letter to Hermione is more structured and maybe got included over this?...A great song regardless!10 years ago

originally released as the B-side of 'The Prettiest Star' in 1970 (Mercury MF 1135). It was not officially reissued until 1990, on the Rykodisc version of Space Oddity.12 years ago

@KarlMarkis I see your response to 'oldbrownshoe69' and his information is correct. However, wikipedia is not incorrect in their summary of "Conversation Piece". They accurately list the "The Prettiest Star" B-side as the original issue of this song in 1970. It's confusing keeping track of Bowie's catalog as there are so many versions of the same song issued all over the place. Have you heard the song "Ragazzo Solo, Ragazza Sola"... the Italian version of the song "Space Oddity?". It's great!12 years ago

@oldbrownshoe69 Old Brown Shoe - love your name. Is it a reference to the Beatles song written by George Harrison? Your information is flawless. Extra notes, a stereo version was issued on the 40th Anniversary Edition of "Space Oddity" in 2009, originally his second album from 1969 entitled "David Bowie", on Philips in the UK. Bowie re-recorded this song and other older gems for the unreleased album "Toy". The new version was issued in 2002 on the 2CD set of "Heathen".12 years ago
