DAVID BOWIE - David Bowie

Item Description

Vinyl,
LP Album Stereo

"4-20-67," etched, appears in the runout on each side.

Rear cover, bottom right-hand corner:
"Distributed by LONDON RECORDS, INC.
539 West 25th Street
New York, N.Y. 10001"

The original inner bag advertises 4 series of London Records releases: "Mantovani," "Phase 4 Stereo," Teen Beat," and "Popular and International."

Bowie's first-ever album release is in both mono and stereo versions. The stereo issue is rarer than the mono. Many copies have a cut-out hole in the bottom right-hand corner.

Note the US edition of the album omits two tracks, "We Are The Hungry Men" and "Maid of Bond Street," as opposed to the UK stereo edition [r=4176127].

Track B2, both on the back cover and the centre label, is incorrectly listed as "Silly Boy Blues" when it should be "...Blue." Track B6's title, "Please Mr. Gravedigger," is listed as "Please, Mr. Gravedigger" on the B-side label.
