#OTD 50 years ago, Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy was released.

This was quintessential #EltonJohn and it was an *ALBUM* not just a bunch of songs. From the 1st song to the last, it tells a story of Elton & Bernie's rise to fame. Produced by #GusDudgeon (Gus is god)

And it came with a poster (my fav! *drool*), another poster, a lyric book and scrap book

3xPlatinum

Do yourself a favor and listen to the entire album

Just like we used to.

Happy Friday

"Space Oddity" is a song by the English singer-songwriter #DavidBowie. It was first released on 11 July 1969 by #Philips and #MercuryRecords as a #7inchSingle, then as the opening track of his second studio album, David Bowie. Produced by #GusDudgeon and recorded at #TridentStudios in London, it is a tale about a fictional astronaut named #MajorTom; its title and subject matter were partly inspired by #2001ASpaceOdyssey (1968).
