Which 1970 Bowie album has a title track later covered by Nirvana on MTV Unplugged?

The 1970 David Bowie album whose title track Nirvana covered on MTV Unplugged is The Man Who Sold the World.

Bowie’s third studio album was released in the United States in November 1970 and in the United Kingdom in April 1971. Its title song is a dark, theatrical piece built around identity, alienation and an encounter with a mysterious figure who claims to have sold the world.

Nirvana performed the song at their MTV Unplugged taping in New York on November 18, 1993. The performance appeared on MTV Unplugged in New York, released in 1994, and introduced many listeners to Bowie’s composition. Kurt Cobain reportedly was surprised to discover that the song was Bowie’s.

A common mix-up is confusing the album with Nirvana’s recording: Nirvana covered the song, not the album itself. The other options are Bowie albums, but none contains the title track associated with Nirvana’s celebrated acoustic performance.
