Notes

The album was recorded at Trident Studios, London, 9 July 1971 - 4 February 1972 using material from the sessions for the previous album 'Hunky Dory' ('It Ain't Easy', July 9, 1971), all other tracks being recorded between November 8, 1971 and February 4, 1972.

First UK issue. Includes printed lyrics and pics on inner sleeve. Initial copies came with a single sheet insert promoting the current tour which started on 2 June 1972 running through until 25th June 1972. Identifying features include Titanic Music publishing credit and no Mainman logo on the back of the sleeve. Later issues have a Mainman publishing credit instead of Titanic and include a Mainman logo on the rear of the sleeve.

Front cover of this issue has derived from US artwork, and the RCA Victor logo and US catalogue number have been pasted over. It is possible to discern a large rectangular cover over, on which the UK details are placed on top of. Look for lines that break./ not continuous. (Not to be confused with second issue cover, where JUST the catalogue number has been covered over and changed.)

First and second cat# on cover and label, third on inner sleeve.

Can anyone collecting this area of interest confirm the use of a laminated front cover with flipback to top and bottom of cover I have three covers saved none have the records but the cover has an interest to me ?

Picked up a very cheap copy of this at a record fair, and it is an incredible sounding pressing. I bought the 2016 pressing too as the OG has a scratch on one track on the B-side (hence why it was so cheap). The quality of the OG absolutely smashes the repress out of the water. If you can get a copy of this at a decent price, you should. If you can't - then yeah, a 2016 will have to do you.

Hi people, I have a copy of Ziggy with matrix DWLP-2001-A-1/B-1 on orange stereo labels which i cannot find any reference to on Discogs. google search turns up a few ideas, early bootleg 'private release' rare first press and this, which loses a little in translation, anyone got any clues?

Ive done a lot of reading about this album... if your copy skips on five years or star... its not your player,i picked up a copy yesterday and mine skips on star. Super dissaplinted this is such a great album. If you are going to buy this album make sure its from somewhere with good return policies.

I own 9 pressings of this, one being an OG 1E 2E UK copy. I can't imagine a 1E 1E sounding any better to any given set of ears. As long as the vinyl is clean and the grooves undamaged, a 2E copy should melt your ears.

Logic would suggest this to be true, and I for one believe this also to be true as it does make sense. However I am yet to find a genuine 2nd press (1E/2E) with the "second issue cover, where JUST the catalogue number has been covered over and changed". 1E/2E always seem to be housed in what this page calls the first issue cover.
So many sites debate this fact and just wondered if anyone has a definitive answer to this age old question?
The best answer I have found is that the 1st batch of covers which have the full paste over, wasn't issued with 1st press (1E/1E) as it was deemed inferior and replaced with a more subtle past over (just the catalogue number) which went on to house the first issued 1E/1E. The first batch covers finally got used up with 2nd pressings as it would have been a waste as so many were made.
Thoughts anyone?

Putting this on a turntable instead of playing it through an IPOD or on CD is a must to get a real appreciation of the 'White Duke' at his very best. The title track and 'Suffragette City' may warrant all the airplay they garner however the two best tracks on the album are the trippy 'Moonage Daydream' and the raucous Beatle-esque 'It Ain't Easy'. Bowie's best work has been what he's put out with Mick Ronson in the fold and this is just a gem of an album.

I have a cassette version with the label number PK 1932, however different from any other versions I've seen on here the band at the top with the "RCA / Stereo / Victor" print is blue instead of red like on the other versions. The cassette itself is the orange background with black text which is found on other versions. The interior is slightly different and doesn't have the photo of Bowie on the reverse side. Can anyone point me to which version this is?
