What determines the price?

Why is one record cheaper than another?

Some albums were released in multiple versions (pressings). There is the first pressing, which can be very valuable to collectors. When that stock runs out, a new pressing is made, called a repress or re-issue. These are often slightly different, such as a different sleeve or heavier vinyl.

Sometimes older albums are remastered, improving the sound quality. A new pressing is made for this as well. Differences in artwork or small production errors can also make a specific version more attractive.

What makes the difference in price?

For records that are not new, the market value is determined by scarcity and the condition of both the record and the sleeve. Pricing is based on supply and demand, and whether a version is limited or numbered.

Which variant should I choose?

If it’s mainly about the music, a repress is a good choice. An original or numbered edition has a different kind of appeal.

General notes about this release (please note: our version may differ a little. see the comments above):

Issued with a 12" paper insert with credits; most copies with an orange sticker with the track list on rear cover.

Published by:
A1 to A6, B4 Bewlay Bros. S.A.R.L./Fleur Music.
B1 Bewlay Bros. S.A.R.L./Fleur Music/E.G. Music Ltd.
A7, B2, B3 Bewlay Bros. S.A.R.L./Chrysalis Music Ltd./Fleur Music.

Mixed at Hansa By The Wall.
Cover photo from 'The Man Who Fell to Earth', a Cinema 5 release.

RCA on sleeve, RCA Victor on labels. (CPL1 2030) appears as reference on labels only.

Initial copies included a small black and white pamphlet advertising the official David Bowie Fan Club and back catalogue.
Generic white die-cut inner sleeve of the Variant 1 shows printer run date 12/76. Copies also exist with printer run date of 11-76 upon initial release.
Variant 19, 27 and 32 has an inner sleeve date 2-77.

NB. The sticker shown in the photos here "Featuring the hit single Sound and Vision", would not have appeared on initial copies and not until at least later in February when the single was released and charted in the UK.

The two different fonts used for catalogue numbers on the fan club leaflet is due to RCA England using a US original leaflet as the basis - UK catalogue numbers which differ from the US numbers are shown in a different font to those where the US and UK catalogue numbers are the same (see the leaflet image of [r=59734).

Less noticeable is the rescan (of the US cover) in the very top RH corner - the area where the US catalogue number appeared has been "shaded in". There is the faint outline of a rectangular section where this has been performed.

Runouts are etched except STERLING. Many of the letters/numbers are scratched out.
