Product Description
Chronique amazon.fr
Certains prétendent que c'est le dernier grand disque de Bowie, et certainement son seul grand album des années 80. Même s'il lui manquait le mordant de ses camarades punk du moment, il sut séduire certains fans du genre ainsi que des fans de rock plus classique. Le jeu énergique est doté d'une production sans fioritures, donnant un produit au style "arty" dans son ensemble. L'album débute sur "It's No Game (Part I)", chanté en japonais. Et se termine sur "It's No Game (Part II)", en anglais. Une des chansons ("Kingdom Come") est écrite par le New- Yorkais Tom Verlaine. "Scream Like A Baby" est une histoire sombre et violente, hurlée. Sur "Ashes To Ashes", Major Tom confesse son penchant pour les drogues, tout en étant brillant et séduisant, alors que "Fashion" fut un hit de dancefloor. Le joyau de cet album reste le titre éponyme, avec la guitare implacable de Robert Fripp. Bowie n'a plus été aussi inspiré depuis belle lurette... --Lorry Fleming

NO Bowie written songs!!!!,
By Luap Van Horn "THE NOSE" (Niagara Falls, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pin Ups (Jpn) (Ltd.Ed) (Audio CD)
After Bowie's very popular "Aladdin Sane" (1973),out came "Pin Ups". Also a 1973 release. My only bitch was,that NONE of the songs on this CD/ALBUM where written by BOWIE!! The music isn't all that bad but with NO Bowie written songs, I personally found it to be somewhat of a dissapointment!

An interesting little experiment,
By
This review is from: Pin Ups (Audio CD)
Pin-Ups (1973.) David Bowie's seventh album.David Bowie is one hell of a classic rocker. One of the reasons his music is so excellent is due to the fact that he is always willing to try new things. One of his most interesting experiments came about in 1973, and I'm NOT talking about Aladdin Sane (although that was an interesting experiment in its own right.) Pin-Ups, the forgotten David Bowie album, was released mere months after that considerably more popular title. This was an album consisting mostly of sixties pop-rock covers - NO Bowie originals were featured. How does it measure up? Read on and find out. David Bowie has always been a man to try new things in the musical world, and it serves him well most of the time. This album is no exception. Many fans, casual and die-hard alike, pass this off as a blatant, rush-recorded attempt to cash in following the release of Aladdin Sane. I do NOT agree with this. I think that this is an excellent album, through and through, despite the lack of Bowie originals. Interestingly, Bowie doesn't cover any Beatles or Dave Clark Five tunes on this album, but what he does cover is excellent. For instance, we get a cover of the Who classic I Can't Explain, which is a bit slower and more melodic than the original. Bowie's new take on the song is great, even if the style differs drastically of that from the original. See Emily Play is a composition by Syd Barrett (of Pink Floyd fame), and Bowie does this song well, too. But, of course, my personal favorite song featued here would have to be the Easy Beats cover, Friday On My Mind. Bowie takes an old favorite and breathes new life into it! Through and through this is a very good album, even if it's very different from what you're used to hearing from Mr. Bowie. No Bowie die-hard should overlook this one. There are two major versions of this album readily available in America (as of June 16, 2004), and those are the standard American version, and the Rykodisc import version. The import features bonus tracks not on the American release, but it's not likely you'll find it in an American store. Shell out the extra cash and get the import ONLY if you're an extreme Bowie fan. In the end, this stands as a damn fine album, even if many of Bowie's fans tend to overlook it. This album was NOT a cash cow, despite what many say - it was just Bowie doing what he does best - trying new things. This isn't really a good place to start if you're new to his music, but if you're a fan of his, it's worth buying.

See David play,
By
This review is from: Pin Ups (Audio CD)
On this album, David Bowie performs some of his favorite songs by mid '60s British groups . Most of these songs were big hits in the U.K., but not in the U.S. The album works pretty well, for the most part. He has a top notch band, and the arrangements are good, if occasionally a bit "busy". Bowie is in good voice, although sometimes his vocals get a bit too "hammy". Think of this album as "Ziggy Stardust plays the '60s hits". It's not the first Bowie album you should get, but if you want to delve deeper into his catalogue, it's worth a listen.
