Track Listing / Description A1 Future Legend A2 Diamond Dogs A3 Sweet Thing A4 Candidate A5 Sweet Thing (Reprise) A6 Rebel Rebel B1 Rock 'n' Roll With Me B2 We Are The Dead B3 1984 B4 Big Brother B5 Chant Of The Ever Circling Skeletal Family On 24th May, 2024, the exact day of its Golden Jubilee, Diamond Dogs will be issued as a limited edition 50th anniversary half-speed mastered LP. The first single from the album, 'Rebel Rebel', reached number 5 in the UK and the album would also reach similar heights on both sides of the Atlantic reaching number 1 in the UK and number 5 in the USA. This new pressing of Diamond Dogs was cut on a customised late Neumann VMS80 lathe with fully recapped electronics from 192kHz restored masters of the original master tapes, with no additional processing on transfer. The half-speed was cut by John Webber at AIR Studios The writing of the album was influenced by Bowie not being able to secure the rights for a theatrical production of George Orwell's 1984 and the work of William S. Burroughs, whom Bowie had interviewed for Rolling Stone in November 1973. The songs on the album created an urban apocalyptic scenario with Bowie appearing on the cover as a controversial half-man, half-dog hybrid painted by the Belgian artist Guy Peellaert from photos by the world-renowned photographer Terry O'Neill. Since its release, tracks from Diamond Dogs have been covered by artists such as Beck, Tina Turner, Duran Duran, Def Leppard, Joan As Police Woman, Dead Or Alive and The Struts.price rating
