Side guide

As the world mourns the loss of one of music’s greatest icons, David Bowie, it’s important to recognize the legacy he left behind in the form of vinyl records. Bowie was renowned for pushing boundaries and exploring new musical directions, and his vinyl records are a testament to that fact. Vinyl records were the perfect medium for Bowie’s ambitious, genre-defying music, and his innovative approach to music production was an integral part of his success. Another iconic Bowie vinyl release is ‘Let’s Dance’. This 1983 album marked a new chapter in Bowie’s career. It featured a more up-tempo, dance-oriented sound and was a huge commercial success. The album spawned several hit singles, including ‘Let’s Dance’, ‘Modern Love’, and ‘China Girl’. The original vinyl release featured a striking cover design, with Bowie sporting a red fedora and a lightning bolt across his face.

The impressive sales performance will further establish Bowie’s pre-eminence in the vinyl market, where he leads the decade and century to-date sales chart. As revealed by Music Week’s chart analyst Alan Jones in his latest column , Bowie’s vinyl sales for the 2000s of 582,704 (calculated up until January 6) place him ahead of the only other act to top half a million units on the format – The Beatles (535,596 sales). David Bowie’s legacy has been further immortalized on vinyl with the 2017 release of ‘A New Career in a New Town’. This box set contained Bowie’s complete studio albums from 1977 to 2016, and featured a unique design with Bowie’s iconic lightning bolt Conclusion Both of them are, yeah. The picture for Brilliant Adventure is something that he drew himself, and the picture of him on the baby's head was something he'd also worked on himself. It’s quite a striking image and it’s raised a few comments.” a b Monroe, Jazz (28 September 2016). "David Bowie Singles Collection Bowie Legacy Announced | Pitchfork". Pitchfork.
