Greetings!

For your consideration: A rare 1983 Elektra 'E' Red Label Peter Schilling, "Major Tom (Coming Home)" vinyl record, Super 12, 4 mix, USA promo.  The 4 mixes include:  1.English Version 2.German Version 3.Special Extended Version 4.Instrumental Version.  While numerous new wave artists in the early '80s tried to imitate David Bowie, Peter Schilling went a step further. In 1983, Schilling released "Major Tom (Coming Home)," a synth pop retelling of Bowie's 1969 classic "Space Oddity." It became Schilling's first and only entry in the U.S. charts, a song that eventually stigmatized him as a one-hit wonder in America. The single "Major Tom (Coming Home)" wasn't just popular in the U.S., it was a worldwide smash. The record sleeve and vinyl are both in NM condition and the cover contains the promo punch in the top right corner.
