First issue released with the orange labels and earliest runout matrices.
Includes a one-sided insert with printed credits and a plain patent inner.

Later reissued with the "Stereo" printed mention on labels.

Steve Schapiro's name is correctly credited in a later reissue.

Front photo from the film 'The Man Who Fell To Earth'. Monochrome version of an original full colour shot. The latter was scheduled to be on the cover, per pre release publicity at the time, but was withdrawn just before the LP’s release and replaced with the black and white picture.

      I found a misprint of a station to station release.
      APL 1327 Matrix b-side APL1 -1324-B-IE.
      The A side is a complete wrong with Bing Crosby on it DPS 2066 A 2E
      https://discogs.cinepelis.org/release/5126911-Bing-Crosby-This-Is-Bing-Crosby
      Really strange.
      Anyone else has this misprint version?

        Incredibly underrated album in bowie's discography. Anticipates the sound and mood of the Berlin trilogy, being at the same stellar level in writing, arrangement, execution and recording.
        I have a mint copy of this first Uk issue: perfectly pressed, sounds great.

          If anyone has just the insert available please send a message.

            Great press and great album. While short, has so many great tracks, such as Wild is the wild and the title track, Station to Station and Word on a Wing. Worst track is TVC15.

              My copy has matrix no’s APL1-1327-A-1E and APL1-1327-B-2E but each label is a side 1 label, obviously a pressing plant error. Anyone else have this? The vinyl and cover and original insert and inner R.S. 1-76 are all excellent, almost mint. What value would this be?

                If anyone, for one reason or another, has just the inside sleeve of the vinyl, I'd be an interested party..

                  Forgive my ignorance. I've seen it threads that the "wg" version seems popular as the best release of the album. Can anyone please shed a light on which one it is?

                    How come the 2014 coloured vinyl edition are labeled as unofficial? Were these releases bootlegs?
