David Bowie Absolute Beginners Coloured Double Vinyl HMV 1000 In Hand Pink and Blue vinyl double LP (I suspect to represent a girl and a boy)
Was limited to one per customer
Adapted from the book of the same name about late 1950s London life by Colin MacInnes, Julien Temple's musical film featured a soundtrack with a Gil Evans score and songs contributed by the likes of Ray Davies, Sade and Jerry Dammers, as well as a title track by none other than David Bowie. The soundtrack is not only one of our Vinyl Week exclusives this year but also becomes the latest addition hmv's exclusive 1921 series, with a new version pressed onto beautiful neon pink and blue vinyl, limited to only 1000 copies!
In June 2020 USM will reissue a collection of twenty-two original songs recorded for Julian Temples 1986 film Absolute Beginners. This 2LP coloured vinyl edition is exclusive to hmv. The film cast included Patsy Kensit, David Bowie, Eddie O'Connell, Ray Davies, Sade, James Fox, Mandy Rice-Davies and Steven Berkoff (with blink and you'll miss it cameos from Sandie Shaw, Eric Sykes and Strictly judge Bruno Tonioli). The soundtrack album boasts three songs by David Bowie (including the theme song, a 1986 number 2 single) that weren't included on any of his studio albums. It also includes the Sade song "Killer Blow", Ray Davies' first solo single "Quiet Life", and "Riot City", an eight-and-a-half minute Jazz instrumental that marked a first solo outing for Jerry Dammers. All three tracks are unavailable elsewhere. In addition there is an extended version of The Style Council single Have You Ever Had It Blue? also unique to this album.The album was produced by Clive Langer and Alan Winstanley, whose many credits include No. 1 singles for Madness and Dexys Midnight Runners.
