The prettiest star novel

The Prettiest Star and The World Of David Bowie are 50
“It can all but break your heart, in pieces”
March 6th saw the release of both an album and a single for David Bowie in the shape of the Mercury 45, The Prettiest Star/Conversation Piece, and the Decca album, The World Of David Bowie.
The Prettiest Star was the beautifully melodic and worthy follow-up to Space Oddity and yet another label change for Bowie.
Mercury was the sixth label that David had released UK singles on.
However, it looked like the label’s faith was well-placed with the signs looking good for another top ten UK hit, as suggested by an NME review of the single.
Sadly that was not to be and taking in to account the gentleness of both sides of the 45, it was an unusual follow-up considering David was plugging his new, rather loud, electric band, Hype, in both the press and on stage around the time of the single's release.
Bowie obviously recognised how strong a song The Prettiest Star was as he rescued it
