Released in March 1975, Young Americans marked a bold creative pivot for David Bowie, trading his signature glam rock sound for the soul and R&B-drenched grooves recorded in Philadelphia and New York. Bowie himself dubbed the sound "Plastic Soul," and the result was a critically celebrated record that showcased his extraordinary versatility as an artist. The album features two of his most beloved singles — the soulful title track and "Fame," a co-write with John Lennon that became Bowie's first US number one hit.
This 45th Anniversary edition presents Young Americans on 200-gram heavyweight gold vinyl, featuring the 2016 remaster and housed in a textured, matte sleeve that gives it a premium, tactile feel. For fans of Bowie's expansive catalog, this is a chance to own one of his most daring and influential albums in a format that does justice to its rich, warm, and soulful sound.
