David Bowie: "Breaking Glass" Single (1978)

David Bowie’s "Breaking Glass" backed with "Art Decade", was released as a 7-inch vinyl single in the UK by RCA Records (catalog number BOW 1) on November 17, 1978.

Co-written by Bowie, bassist George Murray, and drummer Dennis Davis in September 1976. Originally appearing on Bowie's 1977 album Low, a reworked version became a staple of the Isolar II Tour. This live rendition was featured as the lead track on a 7-inch EP promoting his second live album, Stage, in 1978. The EP climbed to number 54 on the UK Singles Chart in December 1978.

In the US, the track "Star" led the live EP (with "What in the World" and "Breaking Glass" as B-sides) but failed to chart. Meanwhile, in Japan, "Soul Love" was released to promote Stage, with "Blackout" as the B-side.
