All other versions with this cover are counterfeits (with etched matrix numbers) and should not be listed here.\n\n\"PR\/P.R.\" in the runouts, and a 2.75\" pressing ring denotes a [L=Philips Recording Company, Inc. pressing.\n\nThis US release is the first release on LP of The Man Who Sold the World. It was only released in two countries - US and Japan (SFX-7345) - with this original cover. The building in the background is the Cane Hill Hospital where David Bowie's half-brother Terry was a patient.\n\nThe album was released in a further three countries on the Mercury label - Germany ([r2746188) in a large circular fold-out cover and the United Kingdom and Australia with a picture of David reclining in a dress. This latter cover is the one used on contemporary releases.\n\nThe US Mercury album was counterfeited (see [r2833017) in the early 1970s after Bowie became popular. It was possible for a potential buyer to choose between the official RCA reissue (in yet another cover, see [r446035) and the widely distributed counterfeit.\n\nThe following visual indicators can be used to confirm an original US Mercury LP:\n• The matrices in the runout (the space between the label and the grooves) are machine stamped (the counterfeits are hand etched).\n• The space between the final lyric line of The Supermen and the cartoon bubble \"Oh By Jingo\" on the back cover is approximately the height of a line of text, while on the counterfeits the space is notably wider.\n\nThere are other differences, though these can be more easily seen and described in a side-by-side comparison.\n\nSR 61325 on covers \u0026amp; spine, SR-61325 on labels.\n\nRunouts are stamped except '1-11, 1-1, +, PR, P.R.' are etched.\u003c\/pre\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eLP, Album\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eA1.
