Description
Although "Hunky Dory" is now widely regarded as one of the greatest albums of all time, it initially failed to make it onto the album charts when it was released in 1971. It finally reached the UK Top 5 in August 1973, fueled by a re-issue of the single "Life On Mars?", released after Bowie's breakthrough album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars ( 1972) was re-released.
December 17, 2021 - 50 years ago today, David Bowie released his fourth studio album, Hunky Dory, which would become another classic in his oeuvre. To celebrate the album's golden anniversary, Parlaphone is releasing a special vinyl release.
On 7th January 2022, one day before Bowie's 75th birthday and 50 years to the day after the UK release of the album single 'Changes', 'Hunky Dory' will be released as a limited 50th Anniversary Picture Disc, encompassing the vinyl 2015 remaster and a poster with the annotated image of the album.
