    Oh you pretty thing

    Huge fan of this album. Having only heard Hunky Dory digitally I always felt like the album sounded flat, the mix lacking punch. Which typically is no fault of the engineer but a result of the times/technology and/or limited recording tracks. Let me say this 180g vinyl really freshens this album up for me. Much looser, no compression. Long live analog!! Bowie really makes being Kookie cool. Such a fun album that can help you laugh, as well as cry at its brilliance. In the words of Trent Reznor during trying times,” Try not be so hard on yourself...and listen to Bowie”

    One of Bowie's best.

    Hunky Dory is rarely mentioned when people discuss Bowie's best works but it is a stand out album from start to finish. It's definitely in his top 5 best records. This pressing doesn't seem to be marred with errors like the Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust was thankfully.

    Classic Bowie

    This album was released before Zigg Stardust and isn't as popular but in my opinion, is every bit as good if not better. The album came in excellent condition and was a great addition to my collection.

David Bowie - Aladdin Sane   - VINYL LP
5.0(7)

Limited 180 gram vinyl LP pressing. Aladdin Sane is the sixth album by David Bowie, released in 1973. The follow-up to his breakthrough The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, it was the first album he wrote and released as a bona fide rock star. It was one of six Bowie entries in Rolling Stones list of the 500 greatest albums of all time (at #277) and ranked No. 77 on Pitchfork Media's list of the top 100 albums of the 1970s. Lacking the thematic flow found on it's predecessor, Aladdin Sane was described by Bowie himself as simply InchZiggy goes to AmericaInch; most of the tracks were observations he composed on the road during his 1972 US tour, which accounted for the place names following each song title on the original record labels.

David Bowie - David Bowie - Space Oddity   - VINYL LP

Limited 180 gram vinyl LP pressing. David Bowie is the second studio album by David Bowie, released under that title by Philips in the UK, and as Man of Words/Man of Music by Mercury in the US, in November 1969. It was re-released in 1972 by RCA as Space Oddity (the title of the opening track, which had been released as a single in July 1969 and reached No. 5 in the UK Singles Chart). The album came about after Bowie had made the transition from a cabaret/avant-garde-inspired musician to a hippie/folk-based sound and as such the album is a major turning point from his 1967 debut.

Kylie Minogue - Fever   - VINYL LP

The eighth studio album by the Australian singer, originally released in October 2001. Four singles were released from the album. It's lead single 'Can't Get You Out of My Head' was released in September 2001 and became a massive commercial success, peaking atop the charts of 40 countries and selling more than five million copies worldwide. The song, which is often recognized as Kylie's signature song, is her highest selling single as of today and one of the best-selling singles of all time.
