This is the original UK version of the album.

This essential David Bowie LP is hardly ever offered for sale in this condition.

“Station to Station is one of David Bowie's greatest masterpieces.”

This is the extremely rare real thing: a genuine Mint/EX condition UK first pressing. The record, cover, insert and inner sleeve are all in superb condition, without any obvious defects like scratches, tears, creases, stickers, writing, dog ears, stains and the like. See pics. All items are the genuine originals bought together by me in 1976 not reprints or replacements. The LP is the original UK 1976 stereo LP, which was only played once or twice on top-end audiophile equipment and lovingly cared for.

THIS HAS TO BE ONE OF THE BEST EXAMPLES OF THIS HISTORIC ROCK ALBUM EVER OFFERED FOR SALE IN RECENT TIMES

Station to Station is the tenth studio album by English musician David Bowie, released by RCA Records in 1976. Commonly regarded as one of his most significant works, Station to Station was the vehicle for Bowie's last great character, The Thin White Duke. The album was recorded after he completed shooting Nicolas Roeg's The Man Who Fell to Earth, and the cover artwork featured a still from the movie. During the sessions Bowie was heavily dependent on drugs, especially cocaine, and recalls almost nothing of the production.
Musically, Station to Station was a transitional album for Bowie, developing the funk and soul music of his previous release, Young Americans, while presenting a new direction towards synthesisers and motorik rhythms that was influenced by German electronic bands such as Kraftwerk and Neu!. This trend culminated in some of his most acclaimed work, the so-called Berlin Trilogy, recorded with Brian Eno in 1977–79. Bowie himself has said that Station to Station was "a plea to come back to Europe for me". The album’s lyrics reflected his preoccupations with Nietzsche, Aleister Crowley, mythology and religion.

“Bowie's cover of the old standard ‘Wild is the Wind’ is priceless.”

This may be your only ONCE IN A LIFETIME chance to own this rare piece of rock history in this condition.

With its blend of funk and Krautrock, romantic balladry and occultism, Station to Station has been described as "simultaneously one of Bowie's most accessible albums and his most impenetrable". Preceded by the single "Golden Years", it made the Top 5 in both the UK and US charts.
At various times to be titled The Return of The Thin White Duke, or Golden Years, Station to Station was co-produced by Harry Maslin, Bowie's associate for "Fame" and "Across the Universe" on Young Americans. Tony Visconti, who after a three-year absence had recently returned to the Bowie fold mixing Diamond Dogs and co-producing David Live and Young Americans, was not involved due to competing schedules. However, the recording did cement the band line-up that would see Bowie through the rest of the decade, with bassist George Murray joining Young Americans drummer Dennis Davis and rhythm guitarist Carlos Alomar.

A fantastic time warp example of this rarity in amazing condition, a true investment grade item - get it while you can!
