This is a peculiar version of DAVID BOWIE's single of BEAUTY AND THE BEAST. I came across it in a secondhand store where they had a couple of other similar singles from the same source where this 7" came from. It originates from the archive of Dutch national radio, apparently. It's modified in a way that they've put it in a generic sleeve with the Dutch Top 40 Foundation logo on it ("Stichting Nederlandse Top 40"), and put an address stamp and a numbered sticker on the centre label. The disc looks like it has almost never been played. And if this single was only meant for airplay on the Top 40, that could very well be the case: it failed to chart in Holland and never made it any further than #21 in the so-called Tip Parade. So this single was very likely only played a handful of times around the time it came out in Holland - and when it was, it'd be broadcasted nationwide. Quite a unique copy.
