Despite having 8 tracks per side this a great sounding compilation, which also features some really interesting mixes on several tracks. Highly recommended.

this compilation includes the superior "sax" version of john im only dancing. really hard to get hold of any other way. apparently some versions of changesonebowie include this sax version. does anyone know which ones?

Some copies exist without the K-tel logo printed on the back-sleeve!

I don't think this cover belongs to the release as the other Uk issues all have the same sleeves. Ok to remove?

On my copy the misprint has been corrected : Breaking glass is on the rear cover.
Same label.

Have this album and the track listing is different on the sleeve Side 1 track 7 is listed as 'Drive in Saturday' however, the track on the vinyl is 'breaking Glass' Does any one have any info regarding this?....thank you

note: until recent reissues this was the only place to hear the superior "Loud mix" of Starman.

Brilliant (and brilliant sounding) compilation from the much maligned K-Tel, the unique edits are subtle and all help the flow of the album. not surprising when K-Tel had people like soon-to-be PiL producer Nick Launay doing the edits.
the sort of compilation RCA should have done.
in 2016 you'll still find this compilation getting played and loved in many UK households who have no idea of the Starman mix controversy

Have a copy of this press with sleeve details, PO box, cat no's etc all identical but different label layout - plain blue/black text, radial text printing is very faint and completely misaligned at side B...
