Released today 52 years ago:
🇬🇧 David Bowie "Pinups" – 1973
A stylish homage to the British ’60s scene. Bowie reimagines classic tracks with glam swagger and impeccable taste.
Also reminding me not to buy picture discs...

THE ONLY ONES
Special View
2025 Europe Ltd. Edition reissue
#668 of 750
Red Translucent vinyl
Off to Boston in about 14 hours; returning to my homeland of Massholia for 7 days to do some hard digging and to see some friends.
So I’m gonna enjoy listening to some records until I leave.
This is probably my favorite compilation of ANY band’s body of work. I love The Only Ones so much, particularly Peter Perrett’s songwriting.
Their one big, instantly recognizable song aside (I first heard “Another Girl, Another Planet” via the Replacements’ cover version), they had MANY great songs, most of which are on Special View.
Killer band, timeless songs.
And kudos to Music On Vinyl for an excellent sounding reissue.
BTW…
Music On Vinyl has reissued each of their first three studio albums over the past two years, and they’re all great, and readily available.
