record vg History - These tracks were recorded at Trident Studios in London between the 8th-15th January 1970 and were produced by Toni Visconti. Bowie had recently re-recorded an old Deram track London Bye Ta Ta, intended as a follow up to Space Oddity. However the same sessions also spawned a new composition "The Prettiest Star". Apparently David wrote this song for Mary Angela Barnett, reputedly playing it down the telephone as part of his proposal to her and later marrying her on 19th March 1970. He also chose this song as his next single, much to the displeasure of his then manager Kenneth Pitt, who favoured London Bye Ta Ta. The Prettiest Star also featured Marc Bolan on guitar and the sessions were all going well until Bolan’s wife remarked that he was too good to be playing on Bowie’s record. Despite receiving good notices, the single reportedly sold less than 800 copies, a major disappointment on the back of the success of Space Oddity. In 1973, a more glam-influenced version was recorded and released on the album Aladdin Sane, with Mick Ronson re-creating Bolan’s original guitar part almost note-for-note.
