Notes

This is the Indianapolis pressing of the original US release as indicated
by a capital "I" stamped in runout on both sides (note: stampings may be faint)

Recorded at Hansa by the Wall, Berlin. Mixed at Mountain Studios, Montreux.

Lyrics are printed on the inner sleeve.

Initial copies included an insert for the Bowie Fan Club offer.

Similar to David Bowie - "Heroes" but black label is different; far smaller pressing ring on this release.
This edition and its match (David Bowie - "Heroes") from the other operable US pressing plant are the first editions of the album. Examination of this edition and the 1st UK editions show that the UK editions (David Bowie - "Heroes" , David Bowie - "Heroes", David Bowie - "Heroes" , David Bowie - "Heroes") contain a rescan of the lyric sheet, reproducing it at a lower quality. This may not be visible from the images on Discogs.
