| "The Prettiest Star" was a single by David Bowie. Bowie had recently re-recorded an old Deram track, "London Bye Ta Ta", as a follow-up single to "Space Oddity" in early 1970. However, the same sessions had also spawned a new composition named "The Prettiest Star". Bowie wrote this for Angela Barnett, reputedly playing it down the telephone as part of his proposal to her, and chose it as a single to the displeasure of manager Kenneth Pitt. Pitt favoured "London Bye Ta Ta", The track also featured Marc Bolan on guitar, ironic as the pair would spend the next few years as rivals for the crown of the king of glam rock. Despite receiving excellent notices, the single reportedly sold less than 800 copies, a huge disappointment on the back of the success of "Space Oddity". In 1973, a more glam rock influenced version was recorded and included on the album Aladdin Sane.
