12" singles treats all of Bowie's 12" maxi-singles in detail, in this section Peace On Earth/Little Drummer Boy (1982) to Do They Know It's Christmas? (1984). Larger pictures of sleeves and labels can be accessed by clicking the 12" title. Mixes are named as they appear on the 12" label; if there is no specification, the album version is used. Promos are treated under the stock copies, unless the single was promo-only of course.

Unlike CD-singles, this section is incomplete concerning all possible pressings and editions. See the 10" and 12" singles discography for a more comprehensive overview.
