Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps) — 1980

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. Not the headline release, but a genuine highlight.

On vinyl: Second-hand copies circulate widely; a clean original can be better value than a new repress.
