This is the original Japanese release that the British Phonographic Institute copied for Operation Moonbeam - catching bootleggers. See David Bowie - The Wembley Wizard Touches The Dial for BPI version.

Single production run of 2,000. Japanese law at the time allowed the production and sale of any LPs by non-JASRAC artists, so long as the recording had been made before 1978. Thus, this original Marc release was perfectly legal under Japanese law.

The first 'B' in the matrix is preceded by what appears to be a small staircase. Both the staircase and the 'B' are encircled.
