Arnold Corns’ "Moonage Daydream" backed with "Hang On to Yourself", was released as a 7-inch vinyl single in the UK by B&C Records (catalog number CB 149) on April 30, 1971.

The band’s first single, (with a spoken intro "whenever you're ready"), did not achieve any chart success. Both these songs later reappeared on "Ziggy Stardust" in new versions with updated lyrics. The Arnold Corns versions appeared as bonus tracks on the Rykodisc CD re-release of "The Man Who Sold the World" (minus the spoken intro on "Moonage Daydream").



A second single, "Looking for a Friend" / "Man in the Middle" (vocals by Valentino), was planned but scrapped. It was released in 1985 by Krazy Kat Records. In August 1972, B&C Records issued "Hang On to Yourself" / "Man in the Middle" as the second single.
