Trivia
Soon before the scheduled release of the album, Bowie came to
Paris and RCA France showed him a copy of the French rock magazine
"Best". There was a report about the U.S. tour
and a show the reporter (Gilles Riberolles) saw,
including a photograph Gilles had taken by climbing on a chair
above the audience and taking an unauthorized shot. David loved the
photo so much that he delayed the release of the album to get the
cover redone with this photo (Information courtesy of
Eric Castaing).
Released in a limited edition yellow or blue vinyl in UK and
Holland. The original LP has the runoff groove messages
"ZIGGY" (all Ziggy tracks), "STAME" (Station To
Station plus Fame), "HELOWS" (Heroes/Low) and
"LOROES" (Low/Heroes). (Information courtesy of Punk Floyd).
