RARE Deram Records MONO ~ first Bowie LP ~ popsike grooves!
DAVID BOWIE
...France - silver/red MONO - Deram Records 291029
VERY RARE excact 2ndpress by Deram Records of the very first David Bowie Lp that was issued in 1967 ...stunning *MINT* condition on silver/red Deram label all in glorious monaural that offers different track mixes from the stereo issue and also contains a deep bold punch in the mono sound production ...
After a few years of cutting R&B covers and shouty Beatle/Who knock-offs, David Bowie graduated to the sort of dizzying musical experimentation which was soon to make him the stuff of legend. DAVID BOWIE with his toytown/popsike grooves, shows a Bowie far removed from of Davie Jones the King Bees or Manish Boys, well on his way to the eclectic luminary status he was soon to achieve. DAVID BOWIE is a surprisingly sprawling affair--composed entirely by the 19-year old Bowie, it reflects a drastic movement from the imitative, R&B-tinged early efforts to a staggering musical complexity and often-abstract poetic wordplay.
Embracing the hyper-dramatic efforts of then-man-about-town Anthony Newley ("Uncle Arthur," "Please Mr. Gravedigger,") Bowie works in bizarre, lyrical dreamscapes which must have made the young Robyn Hitchcock swoon--namely the stand-out arpeggiated guitar and medieval melodic tone of "Come And Buy My Toys." Soon enough, the cheeky musical theater atmosphere would disappear, and a parade of successive reincarnations would continue to redefine popular music for decades to come.

ATTENTION!
Corrections to the following errors in the above description
The David Bowie album, while being a rare and clean collectible is in *stereo* and not *mono*
As well, it is a vintage Deram label release from France, not UK as the title suggests.
It remains a very little seen item with great visual & sound playback quality and will make for a nice collectible in about anyone's music library.
