Recorded primarily at Sigma Sound Studios in Philadelphia, the album features prominent contributions from Carlos Alomar, David Sanborn, Luther Vandross, and other musicians associated with the sessions. “Fame,” co-written with John Lennon and Carlos Alomar, became one of Bowie’s signature recordings, while the title track remains central to this period of his catalog.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCollector Note\u003cbr\u003eThis is a 1975 U.S. RCA Victor Indianapolis pressing carrying catalog number APL1-0998 and the tan RCA labels associated with this first-pressing variation.
