Managed to get another PROMO set this ... this is NOT the item listed a few weeks back, rather a completely different copy ...make no mistake - very rare, NOT around.
Exceedingly-rare final collection copy, and here s why::::
Original, mid 70s black RCA label first print ... easily Bowie s most hard to find and highly wanted LP, we haven t had a decent original for ages ...
Here is a TOP minty-clean survivor coming with an absolutely impossible-to-find thick/fat PROMOTIONAL package containing glossy David Bowie photos original, not copies as well as a nine page RCA Records David Bowie biography and multi-pages of reviews, information and overviews all concerning David Bowie which comes in a custom designed folder that holds al the goods ...
One of Bowie s more stellar moments working with Brian Eno, Heroes sees the artist moving into barely chartered waters at that point, 1977 , creating moving, emotive rock and putting it right up against some very detached and futuristic synthesized sounds. The collection opens with a ferocious rocker, courtesy of King Crimson headmaster Robert Fripp s taut, snarling guitars Beauty and the Beast , and then slides into the roar of Joe the Lion without missing a beat. Bowie s vocals have rarely sounded as desperate as they are on Heroes, the anguished Blackout rages on a peculiarly up beat, and suddenly the listener finds they ve slipped into a parallel world of icy soundscapes. The next four tracks present glassy synthesizers, stark piano, the ping of Asian-styled guitars, and other styles presumably left over or influenced by the Low recordings. The delicate Moss Garden is particularly beautiful, and Sense of Doubt is brooding and ominous. The closer, The Secret Life of Arabia, moves with the rhythm of a snake charmer, and Bowie s vocals are irrepressibly intoxicating. Challenging, and worth the effort.
Heroes serves up the strengthen sonic innovative skills where Bowie and Eno explored during their collaboration from their stay in Berlin. What adds to the success of Heroes is how the vocals boasts fuller hard rhythms and it s well-conceive deeper layer of sounds while Robert Fripp s guitar solos provides a muscular foundation for the electronic background, especially when it came to those relatively conventional songs. Similarly, the instrumentals give a more vividly-paced feedback which is well-detailed with a keen momentum, but ironically speaking it also showcase a more explicit debt to German-synth pop and European experimental rock which made this a winning benchmark in contemporary music.
