Lady Stardust / Crystal Japan

~ Release by David Bowie (see all versions of this release, 1 available)

Annotation

This is an exclusive release from the V&A "David Bowie Is" exhibition in Japan.
The disc will be sold exclusively at the David Bowie exhibition shop from 8 January to 9 April, 2017.

The A-side is a previously unissued 2016 stereo mix.

The A side features a Masayoshi Sukita shot taken from a session in February 1973, at RCA Studios in New York. Bowie is wearing a costume by Japanese designer, Kansai Yamamoto, and Kabuki inspired make-up. Under Japanese influence, indeed.

The Sukita photograph on the AA side, taken in Tokyo in 1980, is from a session that remained unpublished until the Genesis Editions book of Sukita’s Bowie photographs, Speed Of Life, in 2012.
