The gatefold sleeve and lyric on the inner sleeve were dropped when the LP was reissued by RCA in the 1980s. There is a Canadian pressing (RCA AQL 1-3254) on orange vinyl, probably with a similar history as the red Low and purple Scary Monsters. In 1991, Lodger was the last in the EMI Sound + Vision series to be released on vinyl (EMI EMD 1026); Rykodisc had already stopped reissuing on vinyl from David Live onwards. First released on CD in 1985 (RCA PD 84234). The 1991 Rykodisc/EMI reissue featured bonus tracks (see above), which were left off the 1999 EMI remaster (EMI 7243 521909 0 4). The same remaster was reissued in 2007 in Japan as a mini LP replica (EMI TOCP-70152); also see this box in which the entire series could be stored. Released as a Super High Material CD (SHM CD) in Japan in 2009 (EMI TOCP-95052) in the same artwork as the mini LP. |

On the new edition, remixed by Tony Visconti, the original running order was restored, with 'Changes' following 'Moonage Daydream'.
