Description

2015 Remastered Edition. Released in 1973, Pin Ups’ was the seventh album by David Bowie and his last studio album recorded with the bulk of “The Spiders from Mars,” as his backing band. Devised as a “stop-gap” album to appease his record label, it is a covers album, featuring songs, (with one exception) by British bands from the 1960s that were influential to Bowie as a teenager, including the Pretty Things, the Who, the Yardbirds, Easybeats and Pink Floyd. The tracks mostly stay true to their original counterparts, albeit performed in glam rock and proto-punk styles.
