The lyric insert matches the inner bag of the first issue (see above). Notable changes are the switch to a single gloss sleeve, the repositioning of Bowie's name from top right to top left, with the RCA logo positioned top right on the front and back. Also, the red and royal blue of the original have been replaced with magenta and cyan.

There was a worldwide vinyl shortage in 1972 and 1973 and RCA UK imported US and Canadian pressed albums to cover the shortfall in local production. This is the edition manufactured in Canada for the UK. Distributed in a matt UK sleeve with more subdued colours than the standard, and with magenta and cyan in place of the original darker red and blue.
See IdbD Ref#10796 for the Canadian pressing distributed in Canada.
