Description

Available with Vinyl records London. Limited Vinyl Records LP Vinyl David Bowie October 2023 marks the 50th anniversary of the release of David Bowie’s classic collection of cover songs, PIN UPS, originally released 19th October 1973 a mere six months after the legendary ALADDIN SANE and three months after the infamous final Ziggy Stardust show at Hammersmith Odeon, where he put the Ziggy persona to rest along with The Spiders From Mars. On 20th October 2023, one day after its Golden Jubilee PIN UPS will be issued as a limited edition 50th anniversary halfspeed mastered LP. This new pressing of PIN UPS 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. John Webber cut the halfspeed at AIR Studios. Recorded at Chacircteau d’Heacuterouville in France, where Bowie would later return to record the masterpiece LOW, PIN UPS was a collection of cover songs paying tribute to bands and artists that had inspired him and that he had seen at clubs such as The Marquee in London in the mid to late 60s. Artists he covered for the album included The Yardbirds, The Kinks, Pink Floyd, The Who, Pretty Things, The Easybeats and more.

Official Heavyweight LP

Pressed on thicker, higher-grade vinyl — often 180 grams — for improved durability and fidelity. Heavyweight LPs reduce surface noise and deliver a deeper, more stable sound, making them a preferred choice for serious listeners.

Official LP Vinyl

The classic long-playing record — rich, warm, and timeless. LPs usually hold a full album, pressed at 33⅓ RPM, offering the most authentic way to experience music as artists intended. Ideal for home listening and collectors who love the ritual of the needle drop.

Anniversary

— Anniversary editions celebrate a landmark moment in an album’s history, marking significant milestones such as 10, 20, or 50 years since its original release. These special pressings often feature enhanced packaging, expanded artwork, remastered audio, or bonus material that reflects the cultural impact of the record. Choose an anniversary release if you’re looking for a commemorative version that honours the legacy of a classic. Whether it’s a faithful reissue or a deluxe collector’s edition, these releases capture the importance of the original while offering something extra for dedicated fans..

Limited

— Limited editions are pressed in restricted quantities, making them more exclusive and often more desirable to collectors. Whether it’s a special colour variant, alternate artwork, numbered sleeve, or short production run, these releases are produced for a defined period or capped total. Choose a limited pressing if you’re looking for something rarer than a standard release. Once they’re gone, they’re usually gone — making them ideal for collectors who appreciate scarcity, unique presentation, and the potential long-term value of a hard-to-find edition..
