Celebrating 50 years of one of David Bowie’s most important studio albums, Station to Station, this limited archival presentation brings together two authentic artefacts from one of the most compelling periods in his career.
Issued exclusively by Genesis Publications, each archive set pairs an original limited-edition photographic print by Geoff MacCormack — Bowie’s close friend and collaborator during the mid-1970s — with a Bowie-signed conceptual bookplate, both produced in connection with the sold-out publication of From Station to Station: Travels with Bowie 1973–1976.
‘Oh Geoff, what a terrifically clever idea this is. Take the two of us and pretend that we went to America, Japan and, wait for it, fucking Russia of all places, me as a rock star and you as cheerful backing singer… Brilliant!’ – David Bowie
Fewer than 50 archive sets are available.
Presented with conservation at its core, each set brings together two historically linked objects from Bowie’s Station to Station era.

Select from 12 photographic images below, each limited to five signed copies.
Los Angeles, 1975
'As a director of photography, Nicolas Roeg had worked with François Truffaut, Roger Corman and Richard Lester, and he had co-directed Performance with Donald Cammel. But it was his directing of Walkabout and Don't Look Now, which had really excited Bowie. Both films are, arguably, the best of their genre ever made and simplified David’s decision to work with him on The Man Who Fell to Earth.' – Geoff MacCormack
Santa Fe, 1975
'A few of the locals seemed to recognise Bowie and were giving him funny looks... David picked up on it and decided to adopt his meanest look, lest any fool try and mess with him... When I looked back at the rest of the room, it was apparent David's act wasn't working. We left shortly afterwards.' – Geoff MacCormack
New Mexico, 1975
'For all of us, the real pleasure was found in whatever recreational time we could muster after gigs, or on our days off (though these were few and far between: three in fifty days).' – Geoff MacCormack
Trans-Siberian Express, 1973
'It was the people we saw at various train stops that caught our imaginations. Life for them must have been really hard. Trying to judge their ages, it seemed that most reached 20, jumped two decades and went straight to 40.' – Geoff MacCormack
Los Angeles, 1975
'Looking back, it was pretty courageous of Bowie to take on such a big role. But he did it with his usual aplomb.' – Geoff MacCormack
Cherokee Studios, Hollywood, 1975
'At this time, David was very much a nocturnal creature. Coco and I would try and create some kind of order by occasionally cooking at home and getting David up before noon, but one was loathed to wake somebody who'd been awake for three days straight.' – Geoff MacCormack
Albuquerque, 1975
'Part of David and his generosity was wanting to take his friends on the journey with him.' – Geoff MacCormack
Santa Fe, 1975
'When I got back to LA, Bowie rented a small, nondescript house. So nondescript, in fact, that I remember very little of any detail about it... At any rate, David, Coco and I moved in and between shooting the final scenes of the film, David started work on a new album that would become Station To Station.' – Geoff MacCormack
Trans-Siberian Express, 1973
'We were aware that we were travelling in supreme luxury compared to others. We even had clean bedding while 'hard class' passengers seemed to sleep on the floor, in corridors, or wherever they could find space.' – Geoff MacCormack
On set of The Man Who Fell To Earth, 1975
'As fans go, David's were the best. He had a lot of time for them, and some nights, he would put on a second show – a quick song or a couple of jokes – and they absolutely loved it.' – Geoff MacCormack
Trans-Siberian Express, 1973
'Striking a pose on the Trans-Siberian Express. Our dress code rapidly fell away after about two days into the long journey. The jacket David is wearing is a Freddie Buretti original. With his bright red hair and unconventional clothing, Bowie didn't exactly blend into the austere surroundings of Siberia.' – Geoff MacCormack
The Spiders' Tour, Britain, 1973
'My memories of the tour run like a looped tape: get up, get out, soundcheck, gig, hotel, get up, soundcheck, gig, hotel and so on.' – Geoff MacCormack
