Notes

Issued with an illustrated inner sleeve with lyrics; some copies included a folded poster.

Version similar to the late 1972/early 1973 UK reissue The Man Who Sold The World. But omits the 'Titanic Music' and includes instead additional 'Bowie' and 'Mainman' publishing credits following the company formation in September 1972.

Most pressings of this issue use recut lacquers for side 1 compared to the first UK RCA issue. The older lacquer is stamped, the newer etched.

Catalogue number "LSP-4816" is printed on the rear sleeve and spine. "LSP 4816" is printed on the record label.
Rear cover states "Previously released on Philips Records 633 8041", although The Man Who Sold The World was released on Mercury.
Mainman label in the upper right corner on the rear cover.
