Bowie, David

Pinups
1973 Orange Label First Pressing With Custom Inner Sleeve. COH. In his 1973 release "Pinups," David Bowie dives headfirst into the vibrant world of the 1960s British rock scene, offering a homage that channels both reverence and reinvention. The album, a collection of cover songs, sees Bowie interpreting tracks from bands such as The Kinks, The Who, and Pink Floyd with a distinct flair that only he can muster. Bowie's vocal versatility shines throughout, as he deftly navigates the nuances of each track, infusing them with his own glam-rock sensibility. The production, spearheaded by Ken Scott, maintains a crisp and dynamic soundscape that complements Bowie's distinct voice, ensuring that each song retains its original spirit while being unmistakably filtered through Bowie's unique artistic lens.

Notably, "Pinups" marks Bowie's continued collaboration with guitarist Mick Ronson, whose robust and imaginative guitar work adds a compelling layer to the album's reinterpretations. Ronson's contributions are particularly noteworthy in tracks like "Sorrow" and "See Emily Play," where his riffs and solos enrich the overall sonic tapestry. While some critics at the time debated the necessity of a covers album in Bowie's discography, "Pinups" nonetheless stands as an illuminating snapshot of Bowie's musical influences and his ability to transform them into something uniquely his own. The album not only pays tribute to the era's rock greats but also underscores Bowie's chameleon-like artistry, as he deftly bridges the gap between homage and innovation.
