Every now and then the internets produce something very cool and nostalgic, and this time around it’s happened to the benefit of David Bowie fans. Check out this letter from 1967, which he penned in response to his first American fan mail.

40 years ago to the day that Neil Armstrong stepped on to the moon, EMI have created a unique opportunity for David Bowie fans: the chance for you to download and mix the original multi-tracks of ‘Space Oddity,’ which also celebrates its 40th anniversary this year!
The ’Space Oddity’ EP consists of four tracks. When the EP is purchased, the original eight stems/multi-tracks will be received for free, enabling fans to remix the song through their own software or through iKlax software.
This is a revolutionary experience for music fans to recreate their own versions of one of popular music’s most iconic songs.
About ‘Space Oddity’
Partly inspired after seeing Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey, which premièred in London in May 1968, Space Oddity was originally written later that year with the first known recorded version dating from February 1969, several months before its eventual release on July 11th 1969 and some time before the Apollo 11 moon landings.
Space Oddity was a cultural landmark for David Bowie as an artist - it was featured by the BBC in its television coverage of the lunar landing, and the song later won an Ivor Novello award.
