I think my mom bought me this record when I was like 14; it came with a sticker I immediately put only my record player and it had “Blue Jean” which made me not listen to it for about 2 years. Later I learned Bowie put it out to give Iggy Pop some cash. I would give this 5 stars for the “Don’t Look Down” cover alone but alas. “Blue Jean”.- Query on variant 2: Contra this listing for "B Side Etch exc Masterdisk stamp SJ-1-17138-Z-11 # 3 ᴍᴀsᴛᴇʀᴅɪsᴋ RL • —◁" my copy reads as such on Side A! My B side reads the same except there is no #3 or anything else between -Z-11 and MASTERDISC. Could original entry be an error?
Just bought this used and is in VG+ condition but inside album jacket was a sticker of the album title and David’s name, looks like a window sticker that came with LP. Anyone know about this, I would say my copy is NM but I only say that if just opened new.
Can anyone help, I think I have a copy of this release, but the runouts don't match (they don't match any of the Jacksonville ones either)
A side: SJ-1-17138-Z-15 #2 Masterdisk RL
B side: SJ-2-17138-Z-14 Masterdisk RL
Both sides have the arrow too.
