This release was sold exclusively at the shop of the V&A's "David Bowie Is" exhibition at the Warehouse TERRADA G1 Building in Tokyo, Japan in 2017. The release was withdrawn from sale approximately four weeks into the January 8 to April 9 run before returning in late March.

Track A is a previously unissued 2016 stereo mix.

The A side features a Masayoshi Sukita shot taken from a session in February 1973, at RCA Studios in New York. Bowie is wearing a costume by Japanese designer, Kansai Yamamoto.

The Sukita photograph on the AA side, taken in Tokyo in 1980, is from a session that remained unpublished until the Genesis Editions book of Sukita’s Bowie photographs, Speed Of Life, in 2012.
