About the album

Co-produced by Bowie and Harry Maslin and recorded in Los Angeles, Station to Station introduced the elegant Thin White Duke persona, fusing funk and soul grooves with the motorik pulse of German krautrock.

The ten-minute title track builds from train sounds into a thrilling rock workout, "Golden Years" is effortlessly cool, "TVC 15" and "Stay" are funky and fierce, and Bowie's take on "Wild Is the Wind" is one of his finest vocal performances.

Mind the train at the start; it does arrive on time.
