Christiane F. – Wir Kinder vom Bahnhof Zoo is a soundtrack album byDavid Bowie, released onLP in 1981 throughRCA Records (and re-issued on CD throughEMI in 2001), for the film aboutChristiane F. The German title of the film,Wir Kinder vom Bahnhof Zoo, means "We children ofZoo Station", referring to the railway station inBerlin, Germany.
Although the entire soundtrack (save for "TVC 15" and "Stay") is made up of songs from Bowie's Berlin years (1977–1979), the story of Christiane F. plays in the early stages of that time (1976–1977); e.g. Christiane F. visited the concert of theIsolar – 1976 Tour in Berlin, which was opened by the song "Station to Station".[2] The live version included in the film and soundtrack is taken from the albumStage, recorded on the1978 Isolar II Tour.
