17th December 2021 marks the 50th anniversary of David Bowie’ s classic fourth studio album HUNKY DORY, and to celebrate Parlophone Records is proud to announce release details for a limited edition vinyl picture disc to mark the album’ s Golden Jubilee.On 7th January 2022, one day before Bowie’ s 75th birthday and 50 years to the day since the U.K. release of Changes as a single, HUNKY DORY will be issued as a limited edition 50th anniversary picture disc, featuring the 2015 vinyl remaster and a poster featuring the annotated back cover image of the album.Although now widely acknowledged as one of the best albums of all time, Hunky Dory didn’ t make a dent on the U.K. album charts upon its 1971 release. It wasnt until August 1973 that the album finally peaked in the U.K. Top 5 in the wake of a reissue of LIFE ON MARS following the 1972 release of Bowie’ s breakthrough album THE RISE AND FALL OF ZIGGY STARDUST AND THE SPIDERS FROM MARS.
