Bowie | Pin-Ups | Vinyl Record

Sealed vinyl record. Parlophone DB69736

Pin Ups (also referred to as Pinups and Pin-Ups) is the seventh studio album by the English musician David Bowie released on 19 October 1973 through RCA Records.  Devised as a "stop-gap" album to appease his record label, it is a cover album, featuring glam rock and proto-punk versions of songs by 1960s bands who were influential to Bowie as a teenager, including the Pretty Things, The Who, The Yardbirds and Pink Floyd.

The album was recorded from July to August 1973 at the Chateau d'Herouvile in Herouville, France following the completion of the Ziggy Stardust Tour. It was Bowie's final album co-produced with Ken Scott. Two members of the Spiders from Mars backing band contributed, the guitarist Mick Ronson and the bassist Trevor Bolder, while Mick Woodmansey was replaced by Aynsley Dunbar on drums. Following a surprise announcement at the end of the tour that the Spiders were breaking up, tensions were high during the sessions, which was reflected in the tracks. The album cover, featuring Bowie and the 1960s supermodel Twiggy was taken in Paris and originally intended for the cover of British Vogue magazine. (Wikipedia).
