YOUNG AMERICANS will be issued as a limited edition 50th anniversary half-speed mastered LP and a picture disc LP with a poster pressed from the same master.
The album saw Bowie broaden his musical horizons once more, embracing what he called 'Plastic Soul' and would give Bowie his first number one single in the U.S., FAME, co-written with John Lennon and Bowie's then guitarist, Carlos Alomar.
This new pressing of YOUNG AMERICANS was cut on a customised late Neumann VMS80 lathe with fully recapped electronics from 192kHz restored masters of the original Record Plant master tapes, with no additional processing on transfer. The half-speed was cut by John Webber at AIR Studios.

This was my introduction to DB and within a month I had Hunky Dory, Ziggy, Aladdin and Diamonds Dogs. I couldn’t believe how diverse this guy was. I never knew what to expect. I still can’t say which is my favorite but I definitely want to have the picture disks of all of them. I need to say, though that Young Americans was the ultimate party album and my friends were blown away by it and became instant fans just like me. Oh, yeah…this is definitely a 5 star album..actually it is 10 out of 5.

This was my second Bowie album way back in my youth. I wasn't sure then what ti expect. I Loved it! The best thing about Bowie was his willingness to explore different sounds. He had a long and great career as a result. Thanks David!
