Originally released 23rd January 1976, Station To
Station was David Bowie’s tenth studio album. To celebrate its 45th
anniversary Parlophone is proud to announce a special limited edition
‘bricks & mortar’ only pressing of the album on either red or white
vinyl.
Considered
a classic among fans and critics alike, the record was unusual for a
Bowie album in that it contained just six tracks, even though it still
clocked in at a little over thirty-eight minutes.
For the first
time ever, a David Bowie album was a bigger commercial success Stateside
than in the UK. It reached #3 on the Billboard 200 and #5 on the
official UK album chart.
Four of Station To Station’s six songs
were released as commercial A-sides by RCA, with "Golden Years" being
the pre-album hit on both sides of the Atlantic. The song scored Bowie
yet another top ten just in time for the Christmas UK chart in 1975,
where it remained right up to the release of the album in January 1976.
45
years on from its release, Station To Station is now seen as a musical
bridge between the ‘plastic soul’ of 1975’s Young Americans and the
start of Bowie’s Berlin era with 1977’s Low.
