Originally inspired by Bowie's unsuccessful attempt to adapt George Orwell's 1984, the album presents an urban apocalyptic scenario. The cover art features Bowie as a half-man, half-dog, painted by Guy Peellaert. The album has been influential, with tracks covered by artists like Beck, Tina Turner, and Duran Duran. Released on its Golden Jubilee, this pressing is both a collector’s item and an homage to Bowie's enduring legacy.
