CD/DVD Releases: Steven Wilson To Release New Single "Happiness III / Space Oddity" On 14th October

Speaking of Steven Wilson - or at least, following on from a reference to Steven Wilson in our King Crimson news item below (and in our John Wesley item even further below) - it was announced late last month that Mr. Wilson would release a new single entitled "Happiness III / Space Oddity" - "'Happiness III' is a 7" single taken from Steven Wilson’s recent 4 1/2 album. The A-side features an edit of the track, while the B-side is a touching cover of David Bowie's classic 'Space Oddity' recorded live at the Hammersmith Apollo on 27th January 2016, performed as a duet by Steven and guest vocalist Ninet Tayeb as a tribute to the great man."

Further, the KScope news item states, "[w]hile the edit is exclusive to the 7"single, the full album version of 'Happiness III' has also been added to the forthcoming CD reissue of Transience, a compilation of SW’s more accessible song based material due to be released on 16th September on Kscope."

Pre-order the 7" "Happinesss III/Space Oddity" single. Digital pre-orders will be available from 8th September [that's today!]
