Note: All records I list are from my personal archive.
They have been shelved upright in a clean, cool dry environment. Attempts to capture a clear photo of the record condition has proved fruitless. Because of this, I'm grading on the low end to assure the buyer the best accurate description for the most enjoyable listening experience. Sound quality is excellent and playback flawless unless otherwise stated in description.

Another label variation. Similar to David Bowie - Starting Point, but:
• Not in bold font, and with silver text on a blue label.
• "Starting Point" is printed within inverted commas.
• "℗ 1977 The Decca Record Co., Ltd." is on one line, not split over two.
• "All above titles composed by David Bowie" appears below "DAVID BOWIE" and not above.
• The number 18 appears at about the 8 o'clock position on both labels.
• The copyright text at the bottom of the labels reads: "All rights reserved. Unauthorized reproduction is prohibited by law".
All songs are stereo except A1, A5 & B2 which have been electronically reprocessed to simulate stereo.
No printed inner sleeve. Released in a white paper sleeve with centre window.
Printing error on rear cover: track duration on "Come And Buy My Toys" has one additional bracket, namely ((2:07).
