Conversation piece es un libro-disco de David Bowie con 5CDs y 120 páginas que ilustran el desarpoprollo artístico del artista entre los años 1968 y 1969, a través de sus demos caseras, sesiones de radio de la BBC, grabaciones de estudio junto a John 'Hutch' Hutchinson y el grupo de música experimental y mimo, Feathers.
Celebra también los 50 años del lanzamiento del single "Space oddity" y del segundo álbum de David Bowie (de título homónimo, conocido como "Space oddity").
Se incluyen doce grabaciones / demos inéditas de ese período, así como una nueva mezcla del álbum "Space oddity" de su productor y colaborador habitual, Tony Visconti.
