The 1st Japanese release of “SPACE ODDITY” on Philips.
At the time, Bowie was still largely unknown in Japan, so pressing numbers were extremely low. It is believed that only a limited batch was distributed as a test run. Due to poor sales, unsold copies were quickly recalled from stores, making regular commercial copies virtually non-existent on the market today. Interestingly, promo copies distributed to radio stations and industry insiders were not recalled. As a result, while promo copies occasionally surface, genuine stock copies remain exceptionally rare.
