Product Description

Super Rare Original 1977 Japanese Pressing — High Quality!! Vinyl & Cover In Top Condition. Includes 4-Page Insert With Lyrics In English.

The Amazing ‘Low’ Album Was The First Recording In The Trilogy That David Bowie Created With Brian Eno. 

Condition – Vinyl: NEAR MINT! Some tiny surface marks, no affect to sound — plays beautifully.

Condition – Cover: EXCELLENT! Insert has some pen marks. Cover itself is NEAR MINT!

Japanese vinyl pressings are highly sought after by audiophiles and collectors, due to their premium sound quality and beautifully presented packaging. The sonic quality of Japanese records is regarded as the best in the world. No wonder all the original Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab records were pressed in Japan! The covers are printed on better quality heavy stock paper too. Near Mint condition original Japanese pressings are becoming scarcer — and therefore more collectable and valuable every year.

    Geoff – January 31, 2015

    Recorded in Paris & Berlin, 'Low' was the first of Bowie's collaborations with Brian Eno. 'Low' is divided into two sides -- the first containing short electronic influenced songs with despairing & deeply personal lyrics & the second ambient instrumentals. Highlights include the haunting "Warszawa", the funked up "Speed of Life / Breaking Glass" opener, along with the singles "Sound and Vision" & "Be My Wife". A landmark album that, after nearly 40 years, still stands up very well to repeated listenings -- 'Low' is pure brilliance!

    AMG – January 31, 2015

    Following through with the avant-garde inclinations of Station to Station, yet explicitly breaking with David Bowie's past, Low is a dense, challenging album that confirmed his place at rock's cutting edge. Driven by dissonant synthesizers and electronics, Low is divided between brief, angular songs and atmospheric instrumentals. Throughout the record's first half, the guitars are jagged and the synthesizers drone with a menacing robotic pulse, while Bowie's vocals are unnaturally layered and overdubbed. During the instrumental half, the electronics turn cool, which is a relief after the intensity of the preceding avant pop. Half the credit for Low's success goes to Brian Eno, who explored similar ambient territory on his own releases. Eno functioned as a conduit for Bowie's ideas, and in turn Bowie made the experimentalism of not only Eno but of the German synth group Kraftwerk and the post-punk group Wire respectable, if not quite mainstream. Though a handful of the vocal pieces on Low are accessible -- "Sound and Vision" has a shimmering guitar hook, and "Be My Wife" subverts soul structure in a surprisingly catchy fashion -- the record is defiantly experimental and dense with detail, providing a new direction for the avant-garde in rock & roll.
