Historical note
Although the entire soundtrack (save for TVC15 and Stay) 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.
