For those who had this on vinyl, which image did you consider the cover?
I no longer have my vinyl copy, and can't remember if the spine had the name of the album on it which would help me determine which was considered the front cover.

I have the LP and the cover is flipped the opposite way of how you have posted it. The post card part is on the right hand side of the front. The title and artist are listed on the spine.
I also have the Ryko CD and it is as you have posted it, Bowie's face on the front. I guess when the album was reissued on CD someone made the decision to change the cover.

This is the front cover image according to Sony:

It matches the layout of the original UK gatefold cover in Tricky Kid's post above.
