God Knows I'm Good - 2015 Remaster

This is a track from David Bowie's 1969 eponymous album, which was released in the US as Man of Words/Man of Music. It was later rereleased by RCA as Space Oddity but reverted to the original, eponymous, title for a 2009 reissue.

George Underwood designed the back cover art for the Space Oddity release as well as Bowie's other early albums. The artist was a friend of the singer back in his childhood days in the South East England town of Bromley. He told Q magazine April 2013 that Bowie based this observational tale, "on a story, not specifically about his mother, but a Bromley woman caught shoplifting."
