Review: David Bowie's Diamond Dogs is a seminal album in his career, released in 1974 amid the glam rock era. The album plunges into a dystopian world, with Bowie adopting the persona of Halloween Jack, a feral survivor in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. Songs like 'Rebel Rebel' and 'Diamond Dogs' capture the album's raw energy and cynicism, while '1984' reflects Bowie's fascination with George Orwell's novel. Diamond Dogs remains a very important record to Bowie's artistic vision and musical prowess. While many remember the album as the transition period between Ziggy Stardust and The Thin White Duke, the music is equally as memorable. Its themes of alienation, rebellion, and survival continue to resonate with listeners today, making this anniversary edition a valuable addition to any Bowie fan's collection.

Review: Sony records is celebrating 50 years in music in 2024 and coincidentally, Diamond Dogs by David Bowie is also sharing that same timeline. Considered by many, to be the last album released of his glam rock period after disbanding his backup band The Spiders From Mars. With his career direction in some question and longtime guitarist Mick Ronson gone, you have arguably one of the interesting studio albums of his career. Led by the hit 'Rebel Rebel', the album marked a turn for Bowie's songwriting having been inspired by a recent interview he did for Rolling Stone with WIlliam S Burroughs. An admirer of Burroughs' working methods and his 1964 novel Nova Express, Bowie revealed he had begun using Burroughs's "cut-up" technique as a way for inspiration. Ultimately, Diamond Dogs is most important for being the transition point from Ziggy Stardust to the Thin White Duke which catapulted Bowie's success in the United States. While only having one modest hit from the album, Diamond Dogs was still a big success. In hindsight, it would also help establish David Bowie as an artist where fans wanted to hear his entire work and not just a single's worth and to Bowie, that showed that his personality was winning over his audience and that his new direction was a good choice.

Review: The legend of the late great David Bowie will always live on, particularly with spectral releases like this still appearing on the regular. Rock 'n' Roll Star! vharts Bowie's journey to Ziggy Stardust across no fewer than six CDs and a blue-ray disc that include early home demos, radio sessions and live performances, session recordings, outtakes and alternate versions of tunes from his The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust record. Unreleased gems on the album include an alternate rendition of 'Lady Stardust,' an unheard version of the cherished 'Shadow Man,' and an upbeat interpretation of The Who's 'I Can't Explain.' Interestingly, Bowie later slowed down and covered this for the PIN-UPS album.

Review: David Bowie's Rock 'n' Roll Star! chronicles the boy from Bromley's transformative journey that culminated in his Ziggy Stardust masterpiece. Spanning from February 1971 to the recording of 1972's The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars, this compilation presents 14 rare and previously unreleased tracks that trace Bowie's artistic metamorphosis. From early Ziggy Session takes to alternative versions and outtakes, this vinyl release offers an intimate glimpse into Bowie's creative process. Each track reveals a different facet of the artist, from the proto-glam of 'Hang On To Yourself' to the soaring balladry of 'Holy Holy.' The album culminates with two iconic performances: an energetic Top Of The Pops rendition of 'Starman' and an alternative version of 'John, I'm Only Dancing' that showcases Bowie's diverse musical talents. Mastered at half-speed, this black vinyl LP provides an immersive and nuanced listening experience.

Review: A year on from the untimely demise of the most influential British musician of the last fifty years, and on the eve of what would have been his seventieth birthday, here we have the opportunity to view his whole jaw-dropping career across the course of two slabs of wax. From the cosmic dread of 'Space Oddity' all the way to the reflective melancholy of 'I Can't Give Everything Away', it's a magnificent testimony to a restless muse that never stopped moving into unchartered territory in search of new adventure. These songs will outlive us all.

Review: 'Heroes' is the David Bowie song even people who aren't fans of David Bowie love. It is also the title of the 12th studio album from the British maverick and one of his most successful. It comes from his famous 70s Berlin period and was written in West Berlin with collaborator Brian Eno and producer Tony Visconti. Most of the tunes were crafted in the studio, on the spot, with Bowie adding his lyrics later. It was a commercial hit that peaked at number three on the UK albums chart and features one half of conventional rock tunes and one half of more instrumental tracks.

Review: Everyone has their favourite Bowie, of course, but Ziggy Stardust has a special place for all and sundry as it marks a noticeable shift in Bowie's sound from Hunky Dory into the fabulous, glam rock 70s era. The classics are so iconic it's almost surreal to consider them in the context of their original presentation on this album, but from 'Starman' to 'Suffragette City' there's no end to the songwriting rock n' roll perfection Bowie achieved here. There's not much more that needs to be said about such an important record, but this newly half-speed remastered version is not to be sniffed at for those who like to hear the music with the best possible fidelity.

Review: Heroes Just For One Day is a superb document of just how extraordinary David Bowie was in the live arena. In 1990 he was taking new paths to rejuvenate his creativity and before he embarked on it fully he headed out on his 1990 Sound+Vision Tour which was to be one final goodbye to many of his most famous back catalogue hits. It's a superb swan song that was captured in all its glory and is now presented here on multicoloured marble vinyl. As far as greatest hits go, it's as great as they get.

Review: This recording of the Philadelphia Orchestra performing Sergei Prokofiev's 1936 story and orchestral score Peter and the Wolf was recorded in 1977 and was originally released in 1978. The role of the narrator on the recording was initially offered to both Peter Ustinov and Alec Guinness who both turned it down, before David Bowie agreed to take on the role, supposedly as a Christmas present to his son. On the B-side is another equally as charming piece of recent classical history, Benjamin Britten's Young Person's Guide To The Orchestra as narrated by Hugh Downs.

Review: David Bowie's legacy lives on years after his death - that is if it hasn't even grown since the great artist's sad passing. This unique live album was recorded in 1990 at the Milton Keynes Bowl and saw the cute singer performing songs on his Sound+Vision tour. This gig was the first leg of his return to Europe so found him full of energy and vitality and turning in superb tunes like 'Rebel Rebel', 'Ashes to Ashes' and 'Life on Mars'. All of this was in front of a massive 60,000-plus crowd and it still makes for spine-tingling listening all the years later.

Review: This is one of the very many classic David Bowie broadcasts out there. It was recorded on his Hours tour to support his 21st studio album of the same name, and was the last he did for the EMI sub-label. It was the first full album to be made available by a major artist for full internet download, a full two weeks before the physical release. The album makes use of many instruments and took Bowie away from electronica. Guitarist Page Hamilton played in the tour as did Mark Plati on lead and rhythm guitars, Gail Ann Dorsey on bass guitar, Sterling Campbell on drums, and Mike Garson on keyboards. This set was recorded in December 1999 at the London Astoria for FM broadcast.

Notes: "One day I blew my nose and half my brains came out." Los Angeles, 1976. David Bowie is holed up in his Bel-Air mansion, drifting into drug-induced paranoia and confusion. Obsessed with black magic and the Holy Grail, he's built an altar in the living room and keeps his fingernail clippings in the fridge. There are occasional trips out to visit his friend Iggy Pop in a mental institution. His latest album is the cocaine-fuelled Station To Station (Bowie: "I know it was recorded in LA because I read it was"), which welds R&B rhythms to lyrics that mix the occult with a yearning for Europe, after three mad years in the New World. Bowie has long been haunted by the angst-ridden, emotional work of the Die Brucke movement and the Expressionists. Berlin is their spiritual home, and after a chaotic world tour, Bowie adopts this city as his new sanctuary. Immediately he sets to work on Low, his own expressionist mood-piece.

Review: It's impossible to overstate the impact that David Bowie had on the last half century of pop culture, in an illustrious career that's celebrated in style on this double vinyl package. Cherry picking a drop-dead selection of the star-scraping hits created by one of the true icons of popular music, it encompasses the whole plethora of strange audial avenues that David Robert Jones traversed in his life, culminating in one of his final recordings 'Sue (In A Season Of Crime)', which maps out noir-ish territory not dissimilar to that of his contemporary and hero Scott Walker. In the words of the man himself, 'really quite out of sight'.

Review: It's true that more than a few eyebrows were raised when Earthling was first released way back in 1997. Critics, in particular, were not particularly impressed by David Bowie's efforts to incorporate elements of drum & bass within his sound. In hindsight, though, it was pure Bowie; ever the musical chameleon, he simply wanted to try something new. As this reissue proves, for the most part the iconic artist got it right, delivering an album that used skittish D&B breakbeats to emphasize the angry, dark subject matter of its' songs (an effect heightened by the Nine Inch Nails feel to many cuts). While Earthling was far from Bowie's best, it arguably sounds stronger now than it did when it was first released. He always was a far-sighted innovator, of course.

Review: Surely not even the most ardent Bowie fan saw any of this coming. Yet to offset the justified grief and mourning at the most otherworldly and mercurial of all musical icons departing our realm, he's left us with one of his greatest albums to date and certainly his best in a full quarter century - one that returns him spiritually to the dizzying collision of bracing experimentation and melodious drama that typified the so-called Berlin trilogy of the '70s yet transplants that ambience to a new more complicated age.

Review: Here's something to get Bowie fans hot under the collar: a first worldwide pressing of the Thin White Duke's "Revolutionary Song", his only contribution to the soundtrack of 1978 West German flick "Just A Gigolo", in which he also starred alongside silver screen legend Marlene Dietrich. The song was recorded with a local band of musicians hastily dubbed "The Rebels" and sees Bowie in classic crooner mode, adding his distinctive vocals to a jangly, largely acoustic number that's effectively a folksy take on waltz. Over on side B there's a chance to enjoy one of Marlene Dietrich's last ever recordings: an atmospheric cover of 1930s cabaret standard "Just A Gigolo" which ended up being the movie's title track.

After this he focused on his solo career but the album quietly, in the background, continued to pick up fans, praise and an increasing reputation. It's often cited as one of the best lost albums of the last millennium and is packed with strong tracks that power along on big, angular guitars with Bowie's vocals soaring up top. This is the first time the record has been on vinyl since its initial rase and comes on limited edition coloured wax.

Review: Legend has it that David Bowie was so lost in a vortex of cocaine and ego during the making of this record to such a degree that he now can't remember anything about its creation at all. Typically of the Dame though, in the midst of all this madness he created a masterpiece, and arguably his greatest album of all. With a hint of the funk of influence of 'Young Americans', yet filtered through a glacial European sensibility, it's a genre-transcending tour-de-force of boundless scope and imperious swagger. Forty-one years on, this record still sounds like the future.

Review: A live curio from the brief time that Bowie and Morrissey toured together that sees the two legends joining forces for a cover of T-Rex's 'Cosmic Dancer'. It's a fairly sparse arrangement, mainly dominated in musical terms by Boz Boorer's jangling acoustic tones, but obviously that does leave plenty of room for two of the most recognisable voices in the business to work their magic. A slick studio take of the Moz tackling The Jam's 'That's Entertainment' inhabits the flip side of what is surely a 7" to get diehards fans salivating.

Review: In 1997, to celebrate David Bowie's 50th birthday, the Thin White Duke was granted a BBC Radio special. It featured nine new versions of some of his favourite songs, all of which were recorded during the rehearsals for a celebratory show in New in late 1996. Happily, these recordings have now been made available for the very first time via ChangesNowBowie, a kind of alternative greatest hits collection. Much of the material is stripped-back and pared down, with Bowie delivering either lo-fi rock revisions (see 'Repetition' and the rip-roaring 'White Light/White Heat'), semi-acoustic translations ('Shopping For Girls', 'Aladdin Sane' and 'The Man Who Sold The World') or slightly orchestrated interpretations ('Quicksand'). It's Bowie as you've never heard him before, and that's got to be a good thing.

Review: In early 1968 David Bowie enrolled in actor, teacher and choreographer Lindsay Kemp s dance class at the London Dance Centre. Bowie later claimed it was during this tenure that his interest in image really blossomed. Studying the dramatic arts under Kemp, Bowie became immersed in the creation of personae to present to the world.
In July 69 he had his first hit single with Space Oddity, and his second, self-titled album was released in November. A year on came The Man Who Sold The World, and Hunky Dory followed in December 1971. Three months later, in February 1972, came the launch of the Ziggy Stardust Tour, at the Toby Jug in Tolworth, Surrey, and the rest, as they say, is history. But in less than three years of intense activity, Bowie had gone from being a glorified song-and-dance-man with a penchant for the tunes of early 60s comedy crooner Anthony Newley to becoming the most flamboyant, creative and dynamic rock star on the planet.
This film uncovers the full story of these years and by tracing events from even further back, when David was still named Jones and a member of any number of UK Beat groups, to the release of The Rise & Fall Of Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders From Mars in June 72, it reveals one of the most fascinating pre-fame periods in the history of contemporary music.
With the use of rare and seldom-seen archive film, exclusive interviews, contributions from his closest confidantes and comment from the most knowledgeable writers and music historians, this film is the best document yet to emerge on the early years of David Bowie and is destined to become the standard work on the subject.

In His Own Words (DVD 1)
The Berlin Briefings (DVD 2)
Review: While David Bowie's talents were many, it was his skills as a musician, a composer and a performer which were, and indeed remain, the most celebrated of the great man's gifts. But Bowie was a self-taught intellectual too, a thinker of unparalleled originality and, quite probably, the best-read rock star of all time. He was also a talented speaker, an enormously absorbing conversationalist and someone you just know you could have had a damn good chat with, if only the opportunity had arisen. When these faculties are combined, as they are throughout the recordings here, some of the most stimulating archive film available on the boy from Beckenham is revealed. This double DVD set concentrates on David Bowie's spoken word video recordings, collating as it does more than 3 hours of the Thin White Duke in interview, in conversation, in conference and when simply having a bit of a natter! Intriguing and enthralling throughout, this set features both classic and rare footage, which all at once make it a must-have compilation for Bowie fans the world across.

Overworked and struggling with drug addiction, Bowie headed to Berlin in 1975 for relief from the stresses of LA life. He lived with Iggy Pop, who was in a similarly dishevelled state. Nonetheless, Bowie produced a series of albums in Berlin that arguably rank among his best. The programme makes use of archive interviews and performance footage to bring this period of the musician's career to life.

Documentary about English guitarist & songwriter Mick Ronson
Notes: From Emperor Media Ltd. and acclaimed producer/director Jon Brewer, music icon David Bowie narrates this unprecedented celebration of the life and works of guitar virtuoso Mick Ronson - a rock hero virtually unknown despite his direct contribution and involvement in countless compositions, lyrics and recordings that changed the face of music forever.
His humble beginnings in Hull, England underpinned the values and modest, unpretentious personality of Mick Ronson, who worked with the city's council while he pursued his craft with consummate dedication. Soon word of his talent reached David Bowie, who grabbed at the chance to work with Ronson, in what would become a career-long association, alongside collaborations with other greats such as Bob Dylan, Ian Hunter, Lulu and Lou Reed.
The Man Who Sold the World, Aladdin Sane, Hunky Dory, The Jean Genie - all were constructed with Ronson on guitar.
Sadly in 1993, while working on a solo album, Ronson passed away before receiving the recognition he so richly deserved or before taking that final bow. Now, with unprecedented access to archival backstage footage - never before released - and iconic imagery from superstar photographer Mick Rock, this fascinating and at times controversial special reveals the ultimate authentic chronicle of the career of a cornerstone of rock.
Bonus interview footage from Angie Bowie, Rick Wakeman, Glen Matlock, Cherry Vanilla, Ian Hunter, David Stopps and more!

Review: Legend has it that David Bowie was so lost in a vortex of cocaine and ego during the making of this record to such a degree that he now can't remember anything about its creation at all. Typically of the Dame though, in the midst of all this madness he created a masterpiece, and arguably his greatest album of all. With a hint of the funk of influence of 'Young Americans', yet filtered through a glacial European sensibility, it's a genre-transcending tour-de-force of boundless scope and imperious swagger. Forty-one years on, this record still sounds like the future.

Under Pressure: Shoreline Amphitheatre Mountain View CA 21st October 1995 (limited gatefold white vinyl 2xLP)

Industrial/Noise
Review: During the U.S leg of his 1995 Outside tour, David Bowie was supported by Nine Inch Nails. Trent Reznor and company not only opened the shows, but also joined forces with the legendary musican on joint performances of some of his songs. Now, some 24 years later, a recording of one of these legendary collaborative performances has finally been released. It's hugely evocative and atmospheric, with many of Bowie's great songs - particularly "Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps)", "Hallo Spaceboy", "The Heart's Filthy Lesson", "The Man Who Sold The World" and "Under Pressure" - benefitting from Nine Inch Nails' low-end grunt and razor-sharp guitars.

A Reality Tour (180 gram translucent blue vinyl 3xLP box + poster + insert)

Review: A yawning chasm has been left in rock music by the untimely departure of David Robert Jones, making documents such as this one all the more poignant and powerful, all the more so for it recording the last tour he embarked on. Here, with a crack selection of musicians including longterm sidemen Mike Garson and Earl Slick, he essayed classics like 'Life On Mars', '80s tunes like a beautifully rearranged 'Loving The Alien' and newer material 'Reality' itself with enough charisma and style to fuel fifty live shows. There'll never be a star that burns brighter than Bowie, and he's on scintillating form here.

Intro/What In The World (Dallas Convention Center Dallas TX 10th April 1978 National Public radio - CD3)
Review: From 'The Laughing Gnome' to 'Blackstar', everyone has their favourite period of Bowie's career. At the same time, it's a brave person who would dispute that the time frame of this quadruple CD collection is generally accepted to be the moment when the Think White Duke was at his absolute creative peak. Recorded in Los Angeles and Tokyo, the set includes material from the undeniably classic albums including Diamond Dogs and The Rise & Fall of Ziggy Stardust plus a clutch of additional renditions of the equally revered 'Space Oddity', 'The Man Who Sold The World' and the teasingly homoerotic 'Boys Keep Swinging'.

Review: Through the many dimensions of his stellar career, David Bowie left a sprawling trail of broadcast performances which often offered unique insights into some of his most cherished songs. Laser Media have gathered together some of the finest examples of these radio broadcast performances for this lavishly presented box set. Given the focus on the 70s and 80s and the fact they still manage to fill out six CDs, you get some notion of the scale of the musical icon's incomparable archives. Classics like 'Rebel Rebel, 'China Girl' and 'Changes' are all present at least once, but here you get unique versions distinct from the evergreen studio takes embedded in our collective memory.

Live At The Agora Ballroom 1977 (limited numbered gatefold blue vinyl 2xLP)

Rock
Review: In 1977, two kings of pop went head to head, appearing simultaneously in Cleveland, Ohio at both their Dinah Shore Show and Agora Ballroom shows respectively. Being made up entirely of Iggy's songs, this album's earlier incarnations appeared under various names - including 'Sister Midnight', 'Raw Power' and 'Suck On This!' - and were naturally credited to Iggy Pop only. Now, Reel To Reel name the Bowie version properly, and deliver it on both vinyl and cassette. Bowie's extra rock n' roll harmonies and duetting flair know no bounds here, bringing out Pop's voice in an extra-thunderous wall of sound.

Review: There have been many 'Tribe Records'-es over the years, but perhaps none were so eminent than the one that existed in '70s Detroit, which gave rise to the release of Harold McKinney's debut album here. On 'Voices And Rhythms Of The Creative Profile', the famous jazz pianist lended a new character to the term 'spiritual jazz', bringing energy and flair - and lots and lots of instrumentation - to the fore, rather than mere sentiment and emotion. This reissue, featuring heavenly gems like 'In The Moog', also features a booklet telling the story of the label from the ground up.

Review: Tin Machine II was first released by Victory Music in 1991. It was the second and last studio long player from Tin Machine and was followed by a tour. Once it was done, the band's legendary frontman David Bowie went back to his solo career and never looked back. Over the years, the album has take on cult status with Uncut magazine once calling it "extraordinary" and placing it in their list of 50 Great Lost Albums. It is a must-have record with plenty of pure-Bowie moments such as 'baby Universal' and singles like 'You Belong In Rock N Roll,' which did well in the charts at the time.

Review: This live recording captures Bowie at the end of his Isolar II world tour, wrapping things up at the NHK Hall in Tokyo in mid-December with a set bursting with classics from some of his most iconic records. Backed by the mighty Adrian Bellew on guitar, George Murray on bass and Dennis Davis on drums, the set list for this album is a goldmine for fans of Bowie's Berlin period with Brian Eno. There are plenty of other classics to savour too, making this another essential document for completists of one of the all-time greatest musicians to ever walk this Earth.

Review: In October 1996, Neil and Pegi Young's Bridge School Benefit concert series was 10 years old and to make the occasion there was a super star studded line up. Neil Young & Crazy Horse, Pearl Jam, Billy Idol, Patti Smith, Pete Townshend, Bonnie Raitt and Cowboy Junkies all played, as did a certain David Bowie. They all played acoustic sets taken from the David Bowie back catalogue and an impromptu version of the Coasters' 'I'm A Hog For You Baby' also feature to a great reception. For the first time ever this is now all featured on vinyl.

Review: Bowie headed out on the worldwide Glass Spider in support of his album Never Let Me Down in May 1987, joined by legendary guitarist Peter Frampton. He show was ambitious even by his own high standards, with theatrical overtones and choreography based around its theme of 'Rock stars vs Reality' and although it was criticised at the time as overblown and pretentious, it's since become recognised as influential. With a mix of current and classic tunes, this album catches Bowie In full concert flow.

Review: For a performer as tireless as Bowie, there is of course a seemingly endless archive of iconic performances to be pored over and revived for the fans. This double pack looks back at some of his most iconic TV studio performances, spanning the 70s, 80s and 90s and some of his biggest hits. As well as golden classics like 'Fame', 'Life On Mars?' and 'Ashes To Ashes', there are also special collaborations with Iggy Pop on 'Funtime' and 'Sister Midnight', and with Klaus Nomi and Joey Arias on 'The Man Who Sold The World' and 'Boys Keep Swinging'. A beautifully presented, thoughtfully curated collection of performances from one of the all-time greats.
