Description

Here for sale is the record of the great David Bowie called, Low it is the eleventh studio album by British musician David Bowie, released on RCA Records in January 1977. Recorded as Bowie entered a self-imposed exile in West Berlin and attempted to break his drug dependence, Low became the first of three collaborations with musician Brian Eno and producer Tony Visconti later termed the "Berlin Trilogy" (though Low was mainly recorded in France). The album marked a decisive shift in Bowie's musical style toward an electronic and avant-garde approach that would be further explored on subsequent albums "Heroes" (1977) and Lodger(1979). Though it was initially met with mixed critical reviews, Low has since become widely acclaimed as one of Bowie's best and most influential works.
