Description

A fierce, transitional masterpiece, Scary Monsters finds Bowie shedding the Berlin Trilogy’s introspection for a sharper, more confrontational sound. With Robert Fripp’s angular guitar work, Tony Visconti’s taut production, and Bowie’s own vocal theatrics, the album bridges avant-garde experimentation with pop accessibility.

This 2018 Rhino reissue is pressed on 180g heavyweight vinyl, remastered from the original tapes and housed in a glossy sleeve with printed insert. Featuring iconic singles like Ashes to Ashes and Fashion, the album reasserts Bowie’s dominance in a post-punk landscape he helped inspire.
