The same year, Bowie stated: "[it] sold like hotcakes in Beckenham, and nowhere else." However, following a 1972 reissue by RCA after the commercial breakthrough of The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, the album peaked at number 24 on the UK Albums Chart, where it remained for 30 weeks, and number 105 on the US Billboard 200, spending 23 weeks on the chart. The album's 1990 reissue charted again on the UK Albums Chart, peaking at number 66.
