Bowie, David - Diamond Dogs - White Hot Stamper
*NOTE: There is a bubble in the vinyl that plays as 3 moderate thuds at the start of track 1 on side 2, "Rebel Rebel." There is also a stitch-like noise that plays at a moderate level for approx. the first 10 seconds of the same track. The sound on this UK pressing is Tubey Magical yet still clean, clear and spacious -- you'll need a lot of luck and a good-sized pile of records to find a copy that sounds like this one. "1984" (a favorite of ours on David Live) sounds great here. In addition to singing, the man handles sax, Mellotron, and Moog duties on the album, and, most surprisingly, plays practically all of the electric guitar parts. Bowie easily qualifies as one of the handful of artists to produce an immensely enjoyable and meaningful body of work throughout the 70s and into the 80s, music that holds up to this day. The music on his albums, so multi-faceted and multi-layered, will surely reward the listener who takes the time to dive deep into the complex sounds he recorded. Repe
