Pin Ups (50th Anniversary): Half-Speed Vinyl LP

In October 2023, it's the 50th anniversary of David Bowie's classic cover - song collection, PIN UPS, first released on October 19, 1973. Just six months after ALADDIN SANE and three months after the final Ziggy Stardust show at Hammersmith Odeon, Bowie bid farewell to the Ziggy persona and The Spiders From Mars. On October 20, 2023, a day after its Golden Jubilee, PIN UPS will be released as a limited - edition 50th anniversary half - speed mastered LP. This new pressing was cut on a customised late Neumann VMS80 lathe using fully recapped electronics from 192kHz restored masters of the original master tapes, with no extra processing during transfer. John Webber did the half - speed cutting at AIR Studios. Recorded at Château d’Hérouville in France, where Bowie later made the masterpiece LOW, PIN UPS pays tribute to the bands and artists that inspired him in the mid - to - late 60s at clubs like The Marquee in London. Artists covered on the album include The Yardbirds, The Kinks, Pink Floyd, The Who, Pretty Things, The Easybeats and more.
