David Bowie

The Man Who Sold The World

 

 

Description

 

Released in 1970, The Man Who Sold The World is David Bowie’s third studio album and a pivotal moment in his career. It marked a significant departure from the folk-rock sound of his previous work, leaning into a darker, heavier hard rock and proto-glam sound. The album is notable for being the first to feature the core lineup of what would later become The Spiders from Mars, with Mick Ronson on guitar and Tony Visconti on bass.

The lyrics are a descent into a world of madness, alienation, and surrealist imagery, exploring themes that would become central to Bowie's work for years to come. The album is famous for its controversial UK album cover, which depicts Bowie in a man's dress, a provocative move that challenged gender norms. This is a classic album that solidified Bowie's artistic vision and laid the groundwork for his legendary career. This is a standard black vinyl pressing of a true rock masterpiece.
