Notes |
Originally released in 1971.
Track 10: Previously unreleased track from 1970.
Track 11: Sleeve mentions 'Single A-side from 1970'. However, this is incorrect. It is the 1973 re-recording, later released as a B-side in 1974. The credits shown here reflect this correction. On this release, Herbie Flowers is credited as producer, bass and guitar player which is incorrect for this version.
Tracks 12 & 13: Released as a single under the name Arnold Corns in 1971.
Came with longbox, (some sellers kept it, not having the longbox doesn't mean it's a different release).
First pressing of David Bowie's RYKO catalogue in USA. It was pressed by PDO.
No barcode on back cover of CD since this pressing has been exclusively released in longbox with barcode on it's back side.
Back sides of both CD & longbox, have no "Sound+Vision" logo.
Back of longbox (lower, right corner) has ''Printed in Canada'' logo.

All Music Guide Review:
Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine
Even though it contained no hits, The Man Who Sold the World, for most intents and purposes, is the beginning of David Bowie's classic period. Working with guitarist Mick Ronson and producer Tony Visconti for the first time, Bowie developed a tight, twisted heavy guitar rock that appears simple on the surface but sounds more gnarled upon each listen. The mix is off-center, with the fuzz-bass dominating the compressed, razor-thin guitars and Bowie's strangled, affected voice. The sound of The Man Who Sold the World is odd, but the music is bizarre itself, with Bowie's bizarre, paranoid futuristic tales melded to Ronson's riffing and the band's relentless attack. Musically, there isn't much innovation on The Man Who Sold the World -- it is almost all hard blues-rock or psychedelic folk-rock -- but there's an unsettling edge to the band's performance, which makes the record one of Bowie's best albums. [Rykodisc's 1990 CD reissue includes four bonus tracks, including the previously unreleased "Lightning Frightening," and the single "Holy Holy," and both sides of the 1971 "Arnold Corns" single, "Moonage Daydream" and "Hang On to Yourself," which are early and inferior versions of songs that would later appear on Ziggy Stardust.]
