Diamond Dogs remains one of David Bowie’s most ambitious and visually striking albums — a dystopian 1974 classic that captured him pushing beyond Ziggy and into darker, more theatrical territory.

Issued for the album’s 50th anniversary, this half-speed mastered LP presents Diamond Dogs in a premium vinyl format built for collectors and serious listeners.

Cut by John Webber at AIR Studios, this edition was mastered on a customized late Neumann VMS80 lathe using 192kHz restored masters from the original master tapes, with no additional processing on transfer.

Featuring “Rebel Rebel,” “1984,” “Diamond Dogs,” and the suite “Sweet Thing / Candidate / Sweet Thing (Reprise),” the album stands as a key turning point in Bowie’s catalog — part glam apocalypse, part future shock.
