FAQ

Is this the original pressing?
No. The original was released on RCA in 1972. This copy is the limited 2022 picture disc edition for the 50th anniversary.

How does a picture disc sound?
On a picture disc the image sits under a thin layer of vinyl. They are mainly collector's items and often sound a little noisier than black vinyl. If sound is your priority, we also have the 2022 half-speed master LP.

Is the record new?
Yes. The record is new and factory sealed, so it has not been opened or played.

Do you have more David Bowie records?
Yes, for example David Bowie – The Man Who Sold The World (picture disc) or David Bowie – Diamond Dogs (Italian original 1974). More titles are in our Rock collection.
