David Bowie - Young Americans - LP
type: Product
description: Format: LP Label: RCA, Master Cutting Room Catalog number: AQL1-0998 Country: US David Bowie’s Young Americans captures a pivotal moment when the artist embraced soul and R&B influences, blending them into his rock foundation with a fresh, acoustic small-group feel. Tracks like "Fame," co-written with John Lennon, and "Across The Universe" reveal Bowie’s knack for combining sharp social commentary with groove-driven arrangements. The album’s production, shared between Bowie, Harry Maslin, and Tony Visconti, leans into a polished yet intimate sound, underscored by Larry Washington’s congas adding subtle rhythmic texture. It’s an album that invites focused listening rather than background noise, rewarding attention with its nuanced shifts and lyrical depth. This 1979 pressing offers a solid example of Young Americans on vinyl, notable for its clean presentation and the clarity that comes with a later pressing. The record is graded VG++, indicating a glossy surface with only minimal light marks, typical of careful play rather than neglect. For a Bowie release that balances rock’s edge with soulful warmth, this copy is practical for anyone curious about the artist’s mid-’70s stylistic detour. It’s the kind of record that might prompt a reorganization of your shelves—soul on the rock shelf or rock on the soul shelf? Either way, it stands ready to hold its place.
