DAVID BOWIE Young Americans 1975 RCA UK 1st Press 2E/2E Mainman RS 1006 EX/VG+

Young Americans marked a sharp turn for David Bowie, trading the glam rock of his earlier work for Philadelphia soul and blue-eyed funk. Recorded largely at Sigma Sound Studios, the album delivered the transatlantic hit "Fame," co-written with John Lennon, alongside the title track and a horn-driven reworking of "Across the Universe."

This is an original UK first pressing on RCA Victor, RS 1006.

The lacquer carries a 2E designation on both sides, one of several first-pressing lacquer variants documented for this catalog number, consistent with a high-demand initial UK run split across multiple cutting batches.

Pressed by RCA Limited, England.

Orange RCA Victor "face" label with "Stereo" printed at the top of each side, the label variant associated with the MainMan-logo sleeve printing.

The back cover carries the MainMan logo, along with full session credits naming Sigma Sound Philadelphia, Electric Lady, and Record Plant N.Y., and production credits for Tony Visconti, Harry Maslin, and David Bowie across different tracks.

Original plain paper inner sleeve.

A hand-etched "PN" stamper mark sits alongside the Side A matrix; the balance of that code isn't fully legible in hand but doesn't affect the pressing identification, which is confirmed independently by the printed catalog and label details.
