      There are currently 5 releases of Young Americans shown in their Discogs listing title as having "MainMan Logo" & "Stereo Labels". One David Bowie - Young Americans matches mine on 5 of the variations: 1) MainMan logo on rear sleeve, 2) Stereo on labels, 3) SHOREPAK printing credit on rear sleeve, 4) RS 1006 A/B to far right on labels & 5) PN on matrix/runout etching. However, it doesn't appear to have the faintly-printed RS 1006 STEREO on the sleeve front top-right. Question: is that detail missing from this listing (front sleeve image is not clear enough to confirm) or should I add a new listing? Thoughts?

        Mine is etched Matrix / Runout (Runout, A-side etched, Variant 2): RS-1006 - A - 2E PN AID and Matrix / Runout (Runout, B-side etched, Variant 2): RS-1006 - B - 2E AIJ but the cover is Printed in England by Robert Stace. Could have been swapped at some point?

          Now who is that guy on the Joanna on 'It's Gonna Be Me' ?

          "ooh baby"

          "I hate to it it but I'm really a closet heterosexual and always have been."

          IF you don't own a copy = why not ?

            Yeah... young Americans is one of Davud Bowie's great albums. It has a jazzy soulful beat with the pleasure of loads of saxaphone. It is my favourite album by David and has been for the past 45 years or so...David Bowie has made many master pieces but for me Young Americans tops them all. If you like the saxaphone you'll love this album 🎷
