Benja Records | David Bowie - The Metrobolist Vinyl LP

Order this 'David Bowie The Metrobolist' now, available on vinyl record. This LP is an alternate version of Bowie's classic third album 'The Man Who Sold the World', with a brand new mix by Tony Visconti and a return to the original pop art cover. This is one of Bowie's early career highlights, with a hard rock sound reminiscent of bands such as Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath. Admittedly, this was a rare example of Bowie sounding perfectly in his time rather than years ahead of it. Being part of a wave rather than creating his own. That doesn't take away from the quality of the album, mind you, with the 8 minute hard rock jam of 'The Width of a Circle' being one of his most underrated songs as Bowie laces the song with innuendo and occult imagery. 'All The Madmen' is a dark, metallic ballad about mental illness that is one of his most harrowing tracks. The prescient sci fi waltz of 'Saviour Machine' is another oft overlooked gem. 'The Man Who Sold the World' is an iconic Bowie track which has also been covered multiple times by acts such as Lulu and Nirvana. The closing track, 'The Supermen', is a mid-tempo gallop fusing fantastical imagery with inspirations from both Friedrich Nietzsche and H.P Lovecraft. This is one of Bowie's early classics.
