Description

David Bowie's 1974 Studio Album Diamond Dogs Reissued for Its 50th Anniversary on LP. This Version Has Been Mastered at Half-Speed.

"Diamond Dogs" is the eighth studio album by David Bowie, released on May 24, 1974. The album is a concept album that originally started as a project based on George Orwell's novel "1984," but due to complications with obtaining the rights, Bowie had to alter the concept. As a result, "Diamond Dogs" evolved into a post-apocalyptic, dystopian narrative set in a decaying urban landscape called Hunger City.

The album features a mix of glam rock, soul, and experimental elements, showcasing Bowie's chameleon-like ability to adopt different musical styles. Notable tracks from the album include "Rebel Rebel," "Diamond Dogs," and "Sweet Thing," which are often cited as highlights of Bowie's discography.

The cover art of "Diamond Dogs" is also notable, featuring Bowie as a half-man, half-dog figure, a concept that was initially more explicitly based on Orwell's "1984" and had to be modified for the final release. The album received positive reviews and is considered a key work in Bowie's extensive and influential catalog.
