Still shots from the production of Nicolas Roeg’s The Man Who Fell To Earth (1976) were used as the cover art for two of David Bowie’s albums: ‘Station to Station’ (1976) and ‘Low’ (1977).

Bowie had worked on a soundtrack for the film that was rejected. Many of the ideas he had would later form the basis for ‘Low’.
