parent album, has been remastered multiple times, including in 2015 as part of the box set Five Years (1969–1973). Bowie performed the song on numerous occasions. He recorded the song for the American television programme Saturday Night Live in December 1979, with Klaus Nomi and Joey Arias. Pegg calls this version "superb". He performed the song during his summer 2000 tour, including at the BBC Radio Theatre in London and at the Glastonbury Festival. Performances from these venues have been released on Bowie at the Beeb (2000) and Glastonbury 2000 (2018), respectively. A performance from the Reality Tour is featured on the live album A Reality Tour (2010). The song has been covered by hundreds of artists. Many have noted that certain covers have managed to outshine the popularity of Bowie's original recording.

Pegg writes that the popularity of its covers have made listeners unaware that the song was written by Bowie. However, Alexis Petridis of The Guardian argues that although subsequent covers have tended to outshine Bowie's original in terms of popularity, none have ever matched the quality of the original. Bowie re-recorded "The Man Who Sold the World" on multiple occasions. For performances on the Outside Tour, it was performed in what Pegg calls a "radical trip-hop revamp"; a studio recording of the song was recorded by Bowie and mixed by Brian Eno and appears as the B-side of the CD single "Strangers When We Meet" (1995) and on digital and physical versions of the EP Is It Any Wonder? (2020). Following mixing in late October 1995, Eno wrote in his diary, "It
