Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps)

David Bowie
Released 1980Rock
ClassicPicked by a lifelong record collector

A sharp, art-rock peak that closed his classic run, home to 'Ashes to Ashes'. Angular and assured. Often called his last great album of the era. Released in 1980, it's a key entry in David Bowie's run.

On vinyl: Vintage copies and modern reissues both circulate — worth comparing condition and remaster notes before you buy.
