The album itself was first re-issued by Deram on CD in 1983 – becoming Bowie's first ever album to appear on this format. The album was re-issued on CD for a second time in 1988, with a booklet reprinting the original press release by Kenneth Pitt and a new essay by John Tracy (1988). The rear sleeve specifies the versions of some of the tracks on the album: "Rubber Band" (Version 2), "When I Live My Dream" (Version 1), and "Please Mr. Gravedigger" (Version 2). "Rubber Band" (Version 2) indicates it is the album version not the earlier single from the previous year. "When I Live My Dream" (Version 1) similarly indicates the original album version is being used, rather than the later re-recording for the unreleased single. Finally, "Please Mr. Gravedigger" (Version 2) indicates it is the album version rather than one of the three tracks recorded at "Rubber Band" single session in late 1966, which only exists on acetate. That is, the 1988 CD version is the stereo version of the original UK issue of the album. This is further clarified as the running times included on the sleeve of the CD are the same as the original album, and all three non-album variations of these tracks have significantly different running times.
