Station to Station

Station to Station is the title of the tenth studio album by British recording artist David Bowie, released on 23 January 1976 on RCA Records.

Produced by Bowie and Harry Maslin, the album was mostly recorded Los Angeles, California, in late 1975, after Bowie had completed shooting the film The Man Who Fell to Earth. The album cover features a still from the film.

The release of Station to Station was preceded by the single Golden Years, top 10 in both the UK & the US. The album itself also went top 5 in both countries.
