What a strange trip backwards in time. I have been slowly acquiring CDs of my early vinyl collection, and finally got a new copy of Diamond Dogs (I'm allergic to downloads--I still prefer to own my media, even though they promptly go on the iPod and iPhone.) This was on heavy rotation on my record player when I was 14, in 1975, and I hadn't been able to play it for at least 15 years. How amazing to find it still resonates, is still haunting, still so good. My only gripe is that all the music was still installed in my brain, and I developed a terrible case of earworm with several tracks after I heard them again. Diamond Dogs is an example of true album rock. The tracks tell a progressive story of a dystopic future. Bowie is a genius, after all and his voice is fabulous on these songs. Fortunately the producers left the original album unchanged, and included a bonus disk. It's an elegant solution for those purists who like to hear the original exactly as it was. It's deliciously dark, and the cover art is still as striking as it was in the '70's.Read full review
Not much to say except that I've loved this music since the first time I heard it. I used to play it a couple times a day at the record store I worked at. I saw Bowie the first time when this album came out also. I also like the idea that some of my favorite songs were recorded live on my 19th B Day.... I love this album this is the one when I started to pay attention. Diamond Dogs I'll replace it again if I have to

Bowie fan since 1976 and this is my most memorable. Every word of every song is committed to memory and I'm happy to have it in at least three different medias now. Thanks
