Description
I am parting with some of my treasured LPs. Here's DAVID BOWIE'S second LP released in the 80's, LET'S DANCE, released in 1983. This copy is STILL SEALED, and in amazing condition. There are just 3 of the tiniest corner issues that most people wouldn't even mention. A gorgeous copy.
Bowie took 3 years to make this LP after Scary Monsters was released in 1980. The 80's were a tough time for many big artists who had already made their mark, but with the New Wave coming from the UK, a lot of artists felt they had to change their sound. Many weren't so successful. Bowie didn't go that route, but stayed within himself for this LP. It's great because of the solid songwriting that was upbeat and fun. A key song, China Girl was written by Iggy Pop. He brought in the perfect people to help make this great. Who better to produce an LP called Let's Dance than Nile Rogers. Bowie also called on the greatest mastering engineer in Bob Ludwig. And then there was that guitarist, Stevie Ray Vaughn. Those combo's made for a killer LP, one of his best in my opinion. The LP received critical, and fan success, and he launched a tour to support it. I was at the Philly show. Due to a contract dispute, Stevie Ray Vaughn played only the Seattle show, and then left the tour. He was replaced by Zappa guitarist Adrian Belew.
An essential LP that's STILL SEALED. Come and get it.
