Notes:
The original American release of this album was called 'Man Of Words/Man Of Music', while the United Kingdom release was 'Space Oddity'. Since the 1972 RCA release it has been called 'Space Oddity'.
"Don't Sit Down" only appeared on the original United Kingdom release. It was inserted back into the tracklisting with the 1990 Rykodisc release and has been on all subsequent reissues.
The 1990 Rykodisc bonus songs as well as "Don't Sit Down" are released for the first time on CD.
