David Bowie: "The Laughing Gnome" Single (1982)

David Bowie’s "The Laughing Gnome" backed with "The Gospel According to Tony Day", was released as a 7-inch vinyl single in the UK by Decca Records (catalog number F 13807) on May 28, 1982.

This 7" was part of Decca's 1982 reissue series of previous hits, all featuring the original 1950s-1960s curved Decca logo design instead of the later box-style logo.All the pressings have solid centres but appear to be of German manufacture although this isn't mentioned on the record labels but is on some of the Decca sleeves which accompany the records. These Decca sleeves are also the 'orange with white stripes design'. The releases are however all UK releases and appear in the Music Master catalogue 'British Pop Singles 1975-1984'.
