Details: Limited half-speed master. Vinyl LP pressing. Diamond Dogs was the eighth studio album by David Bowie, originally released in 1974. Bowie produced the album and recorded it in early 1974 in London and the Netherlands, following the disbanding of his backing band the Spiders from Mars and the departure of producer Ken Scott. Musically, it was Bowie's final album in the glam rock genre, though some songs were influenced by funk and soul music, which Bowie embraced on his next album, Young Americans (1975).
