*CD 3: Singles Versions E.P.

1. Golden Years

The first single released from the album Station To Station, it was released in edited form in November 1975 (RCA 2640), appearing the following year in full-length on the album. This single version has been subsequently released on various Bowie compilations including the Best Of Bowie LP, The Best Of David Bowie 1974/1979 and the multi-territory differing Best Of Bowie. The single peaked on the singles charts at number 8 in the UK and number 10 in the US.

2. TVC15
Released in edited form as the second single from Station To Station (RCA 2682) in April 1976. This particular single edit has been released subsequently on CD including the Christiane F. soundtrack and The Best Of David Bowie 1974/1979. It was also pressed as the flip side to the 'Station To Station' edit (RCA 42549) also featured on this disc. The single peaked on the singles charts at number 33 in the UK and number 64 in the US.

3. Stay
This edit was released as the third single from Station To Station in the US (RCA PB 10736) in July 1976 and several other countries outside the UK. In the same month in the UK it appeared as the B-side to a coupling on single with Suffragette City (RCA 2726). The edit, which almost halves the duration of the album version, has also been previously released on the Christiane F. soundtrack LP and CD.

4. Word On A Wing
Appearing on the reverse of the original Stay single (RCA PB 10736) in July 1976, this particular edit is making its official debut here on CD.

5. Station To Station
This is an extremely edited version (down from 10 minutes 13 seconds) appeared on a very rare French factory single sample (RCA 42549) in 1976. This edit eliminates the entire first part of the song. This marks its first official release.
