David Bowie Instagram – DIAMOND DOGS 50TH ANNIVERSARY VINYL DUE IN MAY

“Keep cool, Diamond Dogs rule, OK…”

DAVID BOWIE DIAMOND DOGS 

50th ANNIVERSARY HALF SPEED MASTERED LP

50th ANNIVERSARY PICTURE DISC LP LIMITED EDITION RELEASES 

OUT 24th MAY, 2024 

PRE-ORDER HERE: https://davidbowie.lnk.to/DiamondDogs50 (Linktree in bio) (Link will be updated throughout the day)

Today (15th February 2024) marks the 50th anniversary of the release of David Bowie’s landmark single ‘REBEL REBEL’, which appeared in a remixed form on Bowie’s eighth and most musically adventurous album of the early 1970s, DIAMOND DOGS. 

On 24th May, 2024, the exact day of its Golden Jubilee, DIAMOND DOGS will be issued as a limited edition 50th anniversary half-speed mastered LP and a picture disc LP pressed from the same master. The first single from the album, the aforementioned ‘REBEL REBEL’, reached number 5 in the UK and the album would also reach similar heights on both sides of the Atlantic reaching number 1 in the UK and number 5 in the USA. 

The writing of the album was influenced by Bowie not being able to secure the rights for a theatrical production of George Orwell’s 1984 and by the work of William S. Burroughs, whom Bowie had appeared with in a two-way interview feature for Rolling Stone titled: BEAT GODFATHER MEETS GLITTER MAINMAN. 

The songs on the album created an urban apocalyptic scenario with Bowie appearing on the cover as a controversial half-man, half-dog hybrid painted by the Belgian artist Guy Peellaert, who used photographs as reference taken for the project by the world-renowned photographer Terry O’Neill. Since its release, tracks from DIAMOND DOGS have been covered by artists such as Beck, Tina Turner, Duran Duran, Def Leppard, Joan As Police Woman, Dead Or Alive, The Struts and many others.

David Bowie Instagram – BOWIE COLLECTS EDISON AWARD 50 YEARS AGO TODAY

“It’s made out of old fisherman…”

On this day in 1974 (13th February), David Bowie attended a press reception at the Amstel Hotel in Amsterdam, where Ad Visser (host of Dutch music show Top Pop), presented him with the Edison Award and a certificate for the Most Popular Male Vocalist, with particular recognition given to Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders From Mars.

Recalling an earlier trip to London to visit David, Visser poured two glasses of an “old fisherman drink”, Schelvispekel*, to toast David’s win. 

David made the most of his visit to the Netherlands, including further work on the forthcoming Diamond Dogs album, several photo sessions with the new look and a recording of Rebel Rebel for Top Pop, which was broadcast a few weeks later.

Here’s David speaking about that new ‘pirate’ look in 1993:

“I I had conjunctivitis, so I made the most of it and dressed like a pirate. Stopped just short of the parrot. I had this most incredible jacket that I was wearing that night, it was a bottle-green bolero jacket that Freddie made for me, and he got an artist to paint, using the appliqué technique, this supergirl from a Russian comic on the back. But I took the jacket off during the press conference and somebody stole it.”

The light-fingered journalist who lifted the jacket is well known and has made no attempt to hide their identity, in fact, quite the opposite. So, no need to give them more publicity here.
