Historical note

Although the entire soundtrack is made up of songs from Bowie's Berlin years (1977-1979), the story of Christiane F. plays before that time; e.g. Christiane F. visited the 1976 show of the Station to Station tour in Berlin which was opened by the song Station to Station^[2]. The live version included in the film and soundtrack is from the 1978 Stage tour.
