“And me I’m on a radio show”
Pin Ups, David Bowie’s album of 60s cover versions, was released 41 years ago today, and was possibly the last great glam rock album of all time. (Discuss)
Either way, it still sounds incredible today and if you’ve not heard it in a while, reacquaint yourself with Pin Ups on Spotify now.
Also, don’t forget the Pin Ups Radio Show with exclusive recollections from Bowie made in 1973, that we told you about last year.
The show features snippets from Pin Ups interspersed with brief observations from Bowie regarding some of the bands he covered on the album, adopting his very best mockney to recall his days as a mod during the period.
The Pin Ups Radio Show was originally recorded as a promotional tool for the release of the record in 1973, but never used.
