“Such is the stuff from where dreams are woven”
This week Station To Station is the selected album from the upcoming David Bowie – Who Can I Be Now? (1974 – 1976) box set.
Station To Station celebrated its 40th birthday earlier this year (January 23rd 1976). 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. 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.
Here’s the tracklisting:
1. Station To Station
2. Golden Years
3. Word On A Wing
4. TVC15
5. Stay
6. Wild Is The Wind
