Track B3 titled 'Moon Of Alabama' on release.

The Man Who Sold The World TV-Special, recorded in Bremen for the TV program "Musikladen Extra" on May 30 1978. This recording is quite famous and has been released several times on different labels.

The musicians are credited on the sleeve as "The Orchestra", but the band introduction (during the performance itself) specifies what instruments they are actually playing.
Bowie either forgets to introduce some of his musicians, or maybe part of the band introduction was cut out of the actual broadcast.
